2024 Pledge Success
In 2024, SANS Institute delivered over 50,000 training opportunities across Europe, empowering cybersecurity professionals through a diverse range of formats. These included in-depth training courses, dynamic summits, insightful webcasts, free educational resources, and community-driven events. This broad reach underscored SANS’ commitment to strengthening cybersecurity skills and fostering community resilience. In 2025, we are aiming to deliver the same level of support for our community in the European Union.
Scholarships
The SANS Technology Institute, in honor of its founder Alan Paller, has introduced the Paller Cybersecurity Scholarship for professionals from the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia. These fully-funded scholarship offers world-class cybersecurity education to both technical experts and newcomers aiming to enhance security in their organisations and countries.
SANS Summits
SANS Summits are focused events on a specific domain area/topic within cybersecurity such as ICS, DFIR, or leadership. SANS Summits feature presentations, panel discussions, and networking opportunities that are hosted in-person or virtually by SANS’ world-leading instructors and other thought leaders. SANS Summit events are provided free for virtual attendees and provide an excellent way for the EU Community to access world leading content. Recent Summits in the EU region include the ICS Summit in Munich, the PenTest Hackfest Summit in Amsterdam and the DFIR Europe Summit in Prague.
SANS Internet Storm Center
SANS also hosts a daily podcast through the SANS Internet Storm Center (ISC), which provides free analysis and warning service for thousands of Internet users and organisations. ISC is maintained by handlers with some of the largest networks that report on their findings each day.
SANS Resilience Exercises
SANS and its instructors not only offer the ability to receive training publicly or privately, we also offer resilience exercises for national teams and departments. This helps nations prepare for real-life nation state attacks and help protect vital industries such as healthcare, energy, banking and other critical infrastructure. Over the years, SANS has offered these exercises and advisory sessions to nations across Europe.
SANS Cyber Range Exercises provide an ideal way for the EU community to learn new cyber skills and to test themselves over 125 multi-disciplinary cybersecurity challenges. SANS also runs larger exercises including the Holiday Hack Challenge which is one of the largest Cyber Range Events known across the global cybersecurity community.
