Re: Register Now! Free SANS NetWars Webcast, 9/27, 2 pm ET

[Kerry Havens <kerry.havens () COLORADO EDU>]

The SANS@EDU program very much still exists. Training budgets have been a bear to work with in the recent past, so 
trying to gauge enough interest in courses in order to put them on hasn't been successful. This is why it is so 
important for folks to let SANS know when you're looking for another course. Hopefully you have someone from your 
institution that is a member of the SANS@EDU advisory board, if not, I'm sure Daryl Gilbertson (dgilbertson () sans 
org) would love to hear from you.

In the meantime, I don't know of any 503 (Intrusion Detection In-Depth) courses coming up, but SANS is offering a buy 
one, get one free deal on 401 (Security Essentials Bootcamp Style) for the course that starts October 11, 2011. This is 
offered via vlive (online), so no travel is involved. E-mail Scott Hazen (shazen () sans org) if you're interested.
