Government Partnerships
The SLTT Government partnership program draws on SANS Institute’s mission to ensure InfoSec practitioners in critical organizations have the skills needed to protect networks, critical infrastructure, and sensitive data and enhance the cybersecurity readiness and response of state, provincial, local, tribal, and territorial government entities. This program offers both security awareness and technical training courses to qualifying organizations at substantial cost savings.
Through the SANS aggregate buy program, you can get the training you need, at an affordable cost, and improve your organization's security posture against phishing, and other cyber-attacks.
