Why Organizations Partner with SANS

  • Slide 1 of 3
    The SANS Cyber Immersion provided me with the chance to prove that I am capable. I don’t have a computer science background, but I have a lot of drive and passion for the field. The GIAC exams are the only exams I have enjoyed taking because I knew that the SANS training was providing me with the skills needed to be successful on the exam and in my future career.

    If you're considering a career in cybersecurity, just do it. Jump in and start consuming information. Embrace the imposter syndrome and just know that your ignorance on a topic can be overcome with time and dedication.

    We are buzzing from this UK Cyber Team CTF competition! This highlights the formidable talent of 18-25-year-olds right here in the UK, ready to tackle the real-world challenges in cybersecurity. On a personal note, I delivered my biggest speaking gig to over 250+ in-person attendees. Absolutely fabulous event, well done SANS!
