SANS training, if not the best, is one of the best in the industry. I love everything about this class, labs, and material. I hope to take other SANS classes after this.

Despite being new to the world of cyber security, this course has helped build upon and reaffirm my knowledge. I felt as though SANS truly values my development.

John Gount

Extremely content rich and so valuable. Best course I have taken for real world application.

Matthew Schmolke

The instructor’s knowledge and teaching style is excellent and the content is pitched perfectly. I will be able to transfer the skills I’ve learned here into my daily work.

Christopher Jones

- Fujitsu

I'd recommend OnDemand as a good learning experience; you can train when you have free time. The instructor was able to relate real life scenarios and the quizzes help with self assessment.

Fantastic, passionate & engaging! The instructor supplemented the course content with experience related scenarios, improving the learning experience and making it extremely interesting.

SANS training is well-respected within the industry, and for good reason. The content of courses is typically up to date, relevant and provided in context.

SANS Institute and Cardiff University Collaborative ICS Workshop

Dive into the retrospective coverage of the engaging workshop hosted by SANS Institute in collaboration with Cardiff University.

This special event centered around Industrial Control Systems (ICS) brought together SANS ICS experts and students to tackle the complexities of critical infrastructures. In this workshop, students had the unique opportunity to develop hands-on skills in a lab setting, guided by security professionals Tim Conway and Dean Parsons.

This workshop not only educated but also inspired all attendees to further pursue expertise in the critical and ever-evolving field of ICS.
