SANS supports the cyber security community through the provision of world-leading training, certification, skills development programmes and through a vast array of free resources.
In addition, we have created a networking group for CISOs and senior security professionals.
Our aim is to help ease the pressure of working as a security decision-maker by providing an environment in which ideas and lessons-learned can be shared amongst a peer group of influencers and thought leaders.
The network is open exclusively to security leaders at the highest level and connects a unique group of professionals who have the appetite and the authority to make a meaningful difference. By sharing ideas and lessons learnt from a wide variety of industries, the SANS CISO Network brings members together to influence our digital future and make the world a safer place.
The SANS CISO Network is led by Professor Ciaran Martin.
