"SANS is well established as the most trusted and largest source of information security training and their new FOR578 - Cyber Threat Intelligence course promises to greatly expand the field. We are delighted to be working with them on this important initiative."
Rob Lee, curriculum lead and instructor for DFIR training, explains, "While DFIR instruction and the FOR578: Cyber Threat Intelligence course provides our students with a strong CTI foundation, we have found that our students want to apply their learning from the classroom immediately in the workplace and need a TIP to be able to effectively do so. In addition, students want to stay connected with instructors and alumni for purposes of continued learning and collaboration around the threats that they are encountering. ThreatConnect fulfills both requirements and allows them to instantly better defend their company networks."
"We are seeing more and more analyst collaboration around tradecraft occurring in the Open Source and Industry Communities that we offer through ThreatConnect's TC Exchange and have Community Case Studies that identify analyst learning as a primary benefit associated with participation in our Communities," said Christy Coffey, business development director for ThreatConnect. "SANS is well established as the most trusted and largest source of information security training and their new FOR578 - Cyber Threat Intelligence course promises to greatly expand the field. We are delighted to be working with them on this important initiative."

The SANS Institute was established in 1989 as a cooperative research and education organization. Today, SANS is the most trusted and, by far, the largest provider of cyber security training and certification to professionals in government and commercial institutions world-wide. Renowned SANS instructors teach more than 60 courses at in-person and virtual cyber security training events and on demand. GIAC, an affiliate of the SANS Institute, validates practitioner skills through more than 35 hands-on, technical certifications in cyber security. The SANS Technology Institute, a regionally accredited independent subsidiary, offers a master’s degree, graduate certificates, and an undergraduate certificate in cyber security. SANS Security Awareness, a division of SANS, provides organizations with a complete and comprehensive security awareness solution, enabling them to easily and effectively manage their ‘human’ cybersecurity risk. SANS also delivers a wide variety of free resources to the InfoSec community including consensus projects, research reports, webcasts, podcasts, and newsletters; it also operates the Internet's early warning system–the Internet Storm Center. At the heart of SANS are the many security practitioners, representing varied global organizations from corporations to universities, working together to support and educate the global information security community.
