Which is why SANS Institute endeavours to get its top class cybersecurity training out to as many people as possible. This in-depth session starts with the premise that the key question for security teams is not whether a breach will occur, but when.
These days, cybercriminals are living off the cloud, according to Katie Nickels, director of intelligence for Red Canary and a SANS Certified Instructor. "It's not enough to pay attention to the operating systems, the endpoints, said Nickels, speaking on a SANS Institute panel about the most dangerous new attack techniques at RSA Conference."Adversaries, a lot of their intrusions, are using cloud services of different types.
Here's a little light at the end of the tunnel: a slew of new online and in-person events from SANS Institute that will help you sharpen up your cybersec skills or learn completely new ones. SANS Threat Hunting London 2022 runs from January 10 to 15, both in-person in London, and online, with seven courses from Advanced Incident Response, Threat Hunting, and Digital Forensics, to in-depth programs such as Purple Team Tactics - Adversary Emulation for Breach Prevention and Detection.
Pulumi announced that SANS Institute is using the Pulumi Cloud Engineering Platform to streamline the delivery of applications and infrastructure, increasing the speed of delivery by 3X. Pulumi enabled SANS to adopt cloud engineering best practices so that it could reduce deployment times, simplify its cloud architectures and ultimately create a better experience for end customers. SANS now delivers cloud infrastructure using TypeScript and GitOps workflows, allowing it to use the power of modern languages and software engineering to deploy and configure infrastructure through a single platform.
Luckily, SANS Institute is going to be girdling the globe over the coming months, bringing you top-notch cyber-security events with a personal touch. SANS Sydney 2021 runs from September 6 to 11, with 11 courses on offer, each of which will take you deep into key cyber-security topics, and all of which offer some level of in-person interaction.
SANS Institute has continued to deliver top notch security training online and expanded its curriculum to take account of new threats and attacks. You might be very interested to know that SANS Institute is starting to bring back live, in-person training for its cybersecurity events.
The SANS Institute says the recently disclosed security incident involved phishing emails being sent to several of its employees.

Web traffic to the servers of the notorious Dutch-German Cyberbunker hosting biz was filled with all kinds of badness, including apparent botnet command-and-control and denial-of-service traffic, says SANS Institute. Cyberbunker, aka CB3ROB, was raided last September by 600 German police gunmen who forced entry to the outfit's Traben-Trarbach HQ. Following the raid, infosec biz SANS was able to set up a honeypot on former Cyberbunker IPs to analyse traffic passing through them - and the results shed light on just what kind of dubious traffic was passing through the servers.
