Re: SANSFire 2011

It's a good course.  I know Fred well and he's a good instructor.

It seems weird that someone on this list would have no security training at all.  If you don't mind my asking, what 
kind of background do you have?  I ask because if you're from more of an operational background and are looking to 
apply security to things and develop good practice, I'd send you straight over to AUD 507 (don't let the audit piece 
fool you...  there's audit stuff, but it's really what sorts of operational practices and controls should be in place 
that auditors ought to look for).

On the other hand, if you have a decent technical background but nothing on the security side and aren't worried about 
development of secure practices, I'd send you toward SEC 401.  It's a whirlwind tour of just about everything to do 
with security.  Prepare to be exhausted. ;)

Best regards
