Maximize your training time and turbo-charge your career
in security by learning the full SANS Security Essentials
curriculum needed to qualify for the GSEC certification. In
this course you will learn the language and underlying theory
of computer security. At the same time you will learn the
essential, up-to-the-minute knowledge and skills required
for effective performance if you are given the responsibility
for securing systems and/or organizations. This course meets
both of the key promises SANS makes to our students: (1) You
will gain up-to-the-minute knowledge you can put into practice
immediately upon returning to work; and, (2) You will be taught
by the best security instructors in the industry. As always,
great teaching sets SANS courses apart, and SANS ensures this
by choosing instructors who have ranked highest in a nine-year
competition among potential security faculty.
SPECIAL NOTE: This course is endorsed by the Committee
on National Security Systems (CNSS) NSTISSI 4013 Standard
for Systems Administrators in Information Systems Security
(INFOSEC).

Author Statement
One of the things I love to hear from students after teaching
Security 401 is "I have worked in security for many years
and after taking this course I realized how much I did not know."
With the latest version of Security Essentials and the Bootcamp,
we have really captured the critical aspects of security and
enhanced those topics with examples to drive home the key points.
After attending Security 401, I am confident you will walk away
with solutions to problems you have had for a while plus solutions
to problems you did not even know you had.
