SANS Brings Workforce Clarity and Real-World Threat Intelligence to RSAC 2025

Join SANS for hard-hitting research, live keynotes, and practical solutions that put people at the center of cybersecurity readiness.

New cyber threats surface by the hour and security talent is stretched thin, so organizations don’t need more noise. They need clarity. They need results. At the RSACTM 2025 Conference, SANS Institute and GIAC are delivering both live and on the main stage.

This year, SANS is not just showing up. We are showing the way forward.

From breaking down the most dangerous new attack techniques for 2025 at our annual keynote briefing to unveiling the 2025 Cybersecurity Workforce Research Report to hosting the first-ever SANS | GIAC Workforce Leadership Summit – half-day executive forum designed to help CISOs, SOC leaders, and HR executives align on workforce risk strategy, SANS is providing the insights and tools organizations need to close critical skills gaps and build security-first teams that can outpace today’s threats.

Whether you're exploring new solutions or looking for a proven path to real-world upskilling, a visit to Booth S-3438 offers a clear view into why the world’s most trusted cybersecurity training partner continues to lead the way.

“This keynote is a frontline briefing from some of the most respected leaders in their fields,” said Ed Skoudis, President of the SANS Technology Institute. “We’re seeing techniques evolve quickly, and defenders need to be one step ahead. This must-see briefing showcases what is happening now and how to take action immediately.”

SANS | GIAC Workforce Leadership Summit
Thursday, May 1 | 8:30 AM – 12:30 PM | Moscone South 306–308

This new executive event is centered on the release of the 2025 SANS | GIAC Workforce Research Report. The Summit is designed to equip security and HR leaders with fresh data and a focused strategy to close workforce gaps and strengthen team performance. Through peer-to-peer discussions and expert insights, leaders will leave with a clear direction on how to build a resilient security organization.

“Our research shows the real gap is in capability, not headcount,” said Skoudis. “At RSAC 2025, we are giving leaders the data and tools to build smarter, stronger teams that can actually meet the moment while exploring everything from framing soft skills as power skills to the importance of technical capability over work experience and degrees.”
