Real Learners. Real Confidence. Real Starting Points.

See how professionals from different backgrounds built the skills and confidence to take their next step into cybersecurity with SANS.

From Educator to Cybersecurity Professional

Before cybersecurity, Liz Gore spent 15 years teaching film and theater. She never saw herself as “technical.”

That changed when she discovered SANS and realized she could build real, practical skills. 

“If there’s a curious spark in you – chase it. You can do this.”  

Liz’s journey shows that you don’t need a technical background to get started – just the willingness to take the first step. 

Turning Experience into Real Understanding with SEC301

After nearly 20 years in the intelligence community, Brian had heard cybersecurity concepts but hadn’t worked with them hands-on

SEC301 changed that. 

“If you can work a computer, you can get through SEC301. You are going to learn and apply the information, not just memorize it to take a test and then forget it.”

Ready to build the same confidence? Start with SEC301.
