Join top SANS instructors as they share their personal journeys into cybersecurity—how they got started, what shaped their careers, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way. From first steps into the industry to becoming recognized experts, their stories offer inspiration and practical guidance for anyone looking to launch or grow a career in cyber. Moderated by Karen Wetzel from NICE, this session will also connect their experiences to roles within the NICE Workforce Framework, spotlighting some of the most dynamic opportunities across both public and private sectors. Whether you're just beginning your career or planning your next move, you'll walk away with actionable tips and a clearer picture of how to navigate your own path in the cybersecurity field.
Whether you’re just getting started with MISP or looking to take your threat sharing to the next level, this talk will give you concrete ideas to make it work in high-pressure, real-world environments.
Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok have become very powerful. This talk is full of live demonstrations of the kinds of things information security professionals can do with the LLMs. Examples include analyzing and manipulating shell code, writing exfiltration code, analyzing logs, and more.
Securing the cloud isn’t easy. Thales Group reported that the percentage of corporate data stored in the cloud has doubled from 2015 (30%) to 2022 (60%). Meanwhile, the 2023 Unit 42 Attack Surface Threat Report, published by a threat research branch of Palo Alto Networks, reported that “80% of security exposures were observed in cloud environments.” Because this percentage is significantly larger than the percentage of data in the cloud, this implies that the cloud is somehow uniquely vulnerable, or that the cloud is uniquely challenging for security teams.Enter the SANS CloudSecNext Summit Solutions Track 2025. This event will provide you with practical solutions to these challenges from some of the world’s leading experts. We will deliver the latest tools, techniques, and procedures for cloud, multicloud, and hybrid environments. We hope you will be able to take what you learn in this event to make your cloud environments as secure, if not more secure, than your infrastructure on-premises.
In this webcast, SANS Instructor Dave Shackleford and Google’s Global Solutions Architect, Ben Cook, will talk about how this platform streamlines threat detection, enrichment, and analysis for security teams of all sizes.
We are lucky in Infosec. It may not be an easy field to get into, but once you’re in infosec, there is plenty of work available and many work models.
This session examines the latest developments in GenAI, both as a potent weapon for attackers and a game-changing tool for defenders.
The integration of AI in penetration testing promises to revolutionize cybersecurity assessments. Machine learning algorithms will automate vulnerability discovery, enabling real-time identification and exploitation of security weaknesses.
This hands-on, scenario-driven workshop delves into how attackers move stealthily through Active Directory environments using user impersonation and lateral movement techniques.
The evolving field of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) is increasingly intersecting with engineering, giving rise to a pivotal discipline known as GRC Engineering. This 45-minute webinar explores this emerging practice, clearly defining GRC Engineering and highlighting its critical role within modern enterprises.
Join us on September 16, 2025, at 1:00pm ET for a deep dive into how modern enterprises can keep pace with today’s fast-moving threat landscape.
In ICS/OT environments, network visibility isn’t just a buzzword, it’s the foundation for safe and effective cybersecurity, incident response, and operational/engineering troubleshooting.
