Five-Day Program Mon, Feb 26 - Fri, Mar 2 9:00am - 5:00pm 30 CPEs Laptop Required Instructor: David R. Miller

To determine if the SANS SEC301 course is right for you, ask yourself five simple questions:

Do you have basic computer knowledge, but are new to information security and in need of an introduction to the fundamentals?

Are you bombarded with complex technical security terms that you don’t understand?

Are you a non-IT security manager (with some technical knowledge) who lays awake at night worrying that your company will be the next mega-breach headline story on the 6 o’clock news?

Do you need to be conversant in basic security concepts, principles, and terms, even if you don’t need “deep in the weeds” detail?

Have you decided to make a career change to take advantage of the job opportunities in information security and need formal training/certification?

If you answer yes to any of these questions, the SEC301: Intro to Information Security training course is for you. Jump-start your security knowledge by receiving insight and instruction from real-world security experts on critical introductory topics that are fundamental to information security. This completely revised five-day, comprehensive course covers everything from core terminology to the basics of computer networks, security policies, incident response, passwords, and even an introduction to cryptographic principles.

This course is designed for students who have a basic knowledge of computers and technology but no prior knowledge of cybersecurity. The hands-on, step-by-step teaching approach will enable you to grasp all of the information presented, even if some of the topics are new to you. You’ll learn the fundamentals of information security that will serve as the foundation of your InfoSec skills and knowledge for years to come.

Written by a security professional with over 30 years of experience in both the public and private sectors, SEC301 provides uncompromising real-world insight from start to finish. The course prepares you for the Global Information Security Fundamentals (GISF) certification test, as well as for the next course up the line, SEC401: Security Essentials Bootcamp Style. It also delivers on the SANS promise: You will be able to use the knowledge and skills you learn in SEC301 as soon as you return to work.

Who Should Attend Security professionals who want to fill the gaps in their understanding of technical information security Managers who want to understand information security beyond simple terminology and concepts Operations personnel who do not have security as their primary job function but need an understanding of security to be e£ective IT engineers and supervisors who need to know how to build a defensible network against attacks Administrators responsible for building and maintaining systems that are being targeted by attackers Forensic specialists, penetration testers, and auditors who need a solid foundation of security principles to be as e£ective as possible at their jobs Anyone new to information security with some background in information systems and networking

This course will teach you the most effective steps to prevent attacks and detect adversaries with actionable techniques you can directly apply when you get back to work. You’ll learn tips and tricks from the experts so you can win the battle against the wide range of cyber adversaries who want to harm your environment.STOP and ask yourself the following questions:

Do you fully understand why some organizations get compromised and others do not? If there were compromised systems on your network, are you confident you would be able to find them? Do you know the e�ectiveness of each security device and are you certain they are all configured correctly? Are proper security metrics set up and communicated to your executives to drive security decisions?

If you do not know the answers to these questions, SEC401 will provide the information security training you need in a bootcamp-style format that is reinforced with hands-on labs.SEC401: Security Essentials Bootcamp Style teaches you the essential information security skills and techniques you need to protect and secure your organization’s critical information assets and business systems. Our course will show you how to prevent your organization’s security problems from being headline news in the Wall Street Journal!Prevention Is Ideal but Detection Is a MustWith the rise in advanced persistent threats, it is almost inevitable that organizations will be targeted. Whether the attacker is successful in penetrating an organization’s network depends on the effectiveness of the organization’s defense. Defending against attacks is an ongoing challenge, with new threats emerging all of the time, including the next generation of threats. Organizations need to understand what really works in cybersecurity. What has worked, and will always work, is taking a risk-based approach to cyber defense. Before your organization spends a dollar of its IT budget or allocates any resources or time to anything in the name of cybersecurity, three questions must be answered:

What is the risk? Is it the highest priority risk? What is the most cost-e�ective way to reduce the risk?

Security is all about making sure you focus on the right areas of defense. In SEC401 you will learn the language and underlying theory of computer and information security. You will gain the essential and effective security knowledge you will need 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 learn up-to-the-minute skills you can put into practice immediately upon returning to work; and (2) You will be taught by the best security instructors in the industry.

Who Should Attend Incident handlers

Leaders of incident handling teams

System administrators who are on the front lines defending their systems and responding to attacks

Other security personnel who are first responders when systems come under attack

The Internet is full of powerful hacking tools and bad guys using them extensively. If your organization has an Internet connection and one or two disgruntled employees (and whose does not!), your computer systems will get attacked. From the five, ten, or even one hundred daily probes against your Internet infrastructure to the malicious insider slowly creeping through your most vital information assets, attackers are targeting your systems with increasing viciousness and stealth. As defenders, it is essential we understand these hacking tools and techniques.

“As someone who works in information security but has never had to do a full incident report, SEC504 taught me all the proper processes and steps.”

-TODD CHORYAN, MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS

This course enables you to turn the tables on computer attackers by helping you understand their tactics and strategies in detail, giving you hands-on experience in finding vulnerabilities and discovering intrusions, and equipping you with a comprehensive incident handling plan. It addresses the latest cutting-edge, insidious attack vectors, the “oldie-but-goodie” attacks that are still prevalent, and everything in between. Instead of merely teaching a few hack attack tricks, this course provides a time-tested, step-by-step process for responding to computer incidents and a detailed description of how attackers undermine systems so you can prepare for, detect, and respond to those attacks. In addition, the course explores the legal issues associated with responding to computer attacks, including employee monitoring, working with law enforcement, and handling evidence. Finally, students will participate in a hands-on workshop that focuses on scanning, exploiting, and defending systems. This course will enable you to discover the holes in your system before the bad guys do!

The course is particularly well-suited to individuals who lead or are a part of an incident handling team. General security practitioners, system administrators, and security architects will benefit by understanding how to design, build, and operate their systems to prevent, detect, and respond to attacks.

Cybersecurity attacks are increasing and evolving so rapidly that it is more difficult than ever to prevent and defend against them. Does your organization have an effective method in place to detect, thwart, and monitor external and internal threats to prevent security breaches? This course helps you master specific, proven techniques and tools needed to implement and audit the Critical Security Controls as documented by the Center for Internet Security (CIS).

As threats evolve, an organization’s security should too. To enable your organization to stay on top of this ever-changing threat scenario, SANS has designed a comprehensive course on how to implement the Critical Security Controls, a prioritized, risk-based approach to security. Designed by private and public sector experts from around the world, the Controls are the best way to block known attacks and mitigate damage from successful attacks. They have been adopted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, state governments, universities, and numerous private firms.

The Controls are specific guidelines that CISOs, CIOs, IGs, systems administrators, and information security personnel can use to manage and measure the effectiveness of their defenses. They are designed to complement existing standards, frameworks, and compliance schemes by prioritizing the most critical threat and highest payoff defenses, while providing a common baseline for action against risks that we all face.

The Controls are an effective security framework because they are based on actual attacks launched regularly against networks. Priority is given to Controls that (1) mitigate known attacks (2) address a wide variety of attacks, and (3) identify and stop attackers early in the compromise cycle. The British government’s Center for the Protection of National Infrastructure describes the Controls as the “baseline of high-priority information security measures and controls that can be applied across an organisation in order to improve its cyber defence.”

SANS’s in-depth, hands-on training will teach you how to master the specific techniques and tools needed to implement and audit the Critical Controls. It will help security practitioners understand not only how to stop a threat, but why the threat exists, and how to ensure that security measures deployed today will be effective against the next generation of threats.

The course shows security professionals how to implement the Controls in an existing network through cost-effective automation. For auditors, CIOs, and risk officers, the course is the best way to understand how you will measure whether the Controls are effectively implemented.

FOR508: Advanced Digital Forensics, Incident Response, and Threat Hunting will help you to:

Detect how and when a breach occurred Identify compromised and a�ected systems Determine what attackers took or changed Contain and remediate incidents Develop key sources of threat intelligence Hunt down additional breaches using knowledge of the adversary

DAY 0: A 3-letter government agency contacts you to say an advanced threat group is targeting organizations like yours, and that your organization is likely a target. They won’t tell how they know, but they suspect that there are already several breached systems within your enterprise. An advanced persistent threat, aka an APT, is likely involved. This is the most sophisticated threat that you are likely to face in your efforts to defend your systems and data, and these adversaries may have been actively rummaging through your network undetected for months or even years.

This is a hypothetical situation, but the chances are very high that hidden threats already exist inside your organization’s networks. Organizations can’t afford to believe that their security measures are perfect and impenetrable, no matter how thorough their security precautions might be. Prevention systems alone are insufficient to counter focused, human adversaries who know how to get around most security and monitoring tools.

This in-depth incident response and threat hunting course provides responders and threat hunting teams with advanced skills to hunt down, identify, counter, and recover from a wide range of threats within enterprise networks, including APT nation-state adversaries, organized crime syndicates, and hactivism. Constantly updated, FOR508: Advanced Digital Forensics, Incident Response, and Threat Hunting addresses today’s incidents by providing hands-on incident response and threat hunting tactics and techniques that elite responders and hunters are successfully using to detect, counter, and respond to real-world breach cases.

Business continuity and disaster recovery sta£

This course covers the design, operation, and ongoing growth of all facets of the security operations capabilities in an organization. An effective Security Operations Center (SOC) has many moving parts and must be designed to have the ability to adjust and work within the context and constraints of an organization. To run a successful SOC, managers need to provide tactical and strategic direction and inform staff of the changing threat environment, as well as provide guidance and training for employees. This course covers design, deployment, and operation of the security program to empower leadership through technical excellence.

The course covers the functional areas of Communications, Network Security Monitoring, Threat Intelligence, Incident Response, Forensics, and Self-Assessment. We discuss establishing security operations governance for:

Business alignment and ongoing adjustment of capabilities and objectives

Designing the SOC and the associated objectives of functional areas

Software and hardware technology required for performance of functions

Knowledge, skills, and abilities of sta�, as well as sta� hiring and training

Execution of ongoing operations

You will walk out of this course armed with a roadmap to design and operate an effective SOC tailored to the needs of your organization.

Course Author Statement“The inclusion of all functional areas of security operations is intended to develop a standardized program for an organization and express all necessary capabilities. Admittedly ambitious, the intention of the class is to provide a unified picture of coordination among teams with di£erent skillsets to help the business prevent loss due to poor security practices. I have encountered detrimental compartmentalization in most organizations. There is a tendency for specialists to look only at their piece of the problem, without understanding the larger scope of information security within an organization. Organizations are likely to perceive a Security Operations Center (SOC) as a tool, and not as the unification of people, processes, and technologies.

“This course provides a comprehensive picture of a SOC. Discussion on the technology needed to run a SOC is handled in a vendor-agnostic way. In addition, technology is addressed in a way that attempts to address both minimal budgets as well as budgets with global scope. The course outlines sta£ roles, addresses sta£ training through internal training and information-sharing, and examines the interaction between functional areas and data exchange.

“After attending this class, the participant will have a roadmap for what needs to be done in an organization seeking to implement security operations.”

-Christopher Crowley

“This course is simply outstanding! It pulls together best practice, standards, procedures, and materials [into a] framework to establish and manage a world-class security operational.” -MICHAEL CARTER, LDS CHURCH

KEYNOTE: Evolving ThreatsPaul A. HenryFor nearly two decades, defenders have fallen into the crowd mentality trap. At the same time, attackers have clearly evolved both in terms of malware delivery vectors and attack methodology. Today, our defenses focus primarily on the gateway and on attempting to outwit attackers’ delivery methods. This leaves us woefully exposed, and according to a recent Data Breach Report, has resulted in 3,765 incidents, 806 million records exposed, and $157 billion in data breach costs in the past six years. The Evolving Threats presentation is updated monthly and provides insight into mitigations of our most current threats.
