Upcoming IT Security/SANS Training Conference Only one week left to register for discounted SANS training! Reserve your seat now! Please forward this on to anyone in your organization who may be involved in setting-up or maintaining network firewalls. The Universities of the Big 12 and the SANS Institute <http://www.sans.org/> will be hosting the Higher-ed Information Technology Security (HITS) 2006 <http://sans.missouri.edu/> conference on the University of Missouri-Columbia <http://www.missouri.edu/> campus. The conference will be comprised of a 5-day course on Firewalls, Perimeter Protection and VPNs with some additional topics related to IT Security. Dates for the conference are May 21-25, 2006. The SANS Firewalls, Perimeter Protection and VPNs class (SANS Sec502) teaches all the pieces required to properly secure a network and keep it secure in today's incredibly hostile environment. Decoding IP packets, firewalls, intrusion detection, centralized logging and alerting, VPNs, auditing, and network design are all covered in depth, using real-world examples to illustrate the practical knowledge. In addition the course prepares you for the GIAC Certified Firewalls Analyst Certification <http://www.giac.org/certifications/security/gcfw.php> . The optional certification is targeted for any individuals responsible for designing, implementing, configuring, and monitoring a secure perimeter for any organization; including routers, firewalls, VPNs/remote access, and overall network design. GIAC Certified Firewall Analysts (GCFWs) have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to design, configure, and monitor routers, firewalls, and perimeter defense systems. SANS is the most trusted and by far the largest source for information security training and certification in the world. The SANS Institute was established in 1989 as a cooperative research and education organization. Its programs now reach more than 165,000 security professionals, auditors, system administrators, network administrators, chief information security officers, and CIOs who share the lessons they are learning and jointly find solutions to the challenges they face. Special discounts are available for faculty or staff members from any accredited EDU (K-12, Community College, Higher Education), Law Enforcement at the state and local level and state employees.
