Specialized Cybersecurity Training in the Telecom Corridor

SANS Dallas 2026 is a cybersecurity training event running December 7 - 12 at the Hilton Richardson Dallas, in-person and online. Courses cover mobile app security, cybercrime investigation, security automation, and vulnerability management.

SANS Live Training

Hands-On Training and Labs for Specific Skill Development

Dallas is where the cybersecurity training lineup gets specialized, with mobile application penetration testing and cybercrime investigation sitting alongside the core defense and leadership courses. That makes it a strong fit for practitioners chasing a specific skill rather than a broad refresh, and for teams that need one person cross-trained into an area they don't currently cover.

The Hilton Richardson anchors the Telecom Corridor two miles from UT Dallas, with a bar that has actual shuffleboard and a 24-hour gym stocked with Peloton bikes for the after-hours crowd.

Course Highlights:

  • Break down iOS and Android apps for vulnerabilities in iOS and Android Application Security Analysis and Penetration Testing.
  • Investigate financially motivated crime in Cybercrime Investigations.
  • Build automation with Python in AI-Powered Security Automation: Building Tools with Python, LLMs, and MCP.
