The SANS Institute

Dear Harry Cliford,

SANS is pleased to announce Community SANS Sacramento 2008, where we
will teach Security 401: SANS Security Essentials, in our signature
bootcamp style, October 20-25, 2008. For complete course description,
details, and to register, please visit (http://www.sans.org/info/30394).

We offer this course in SANS bootcamp format, with hands-on exercises
after the first five class days, because our students consistently tell
us that hands-on training (including labs and exercises) makes a huge
difference in both knowledge retention and practical skills development.

WHY SECURITY ESSENTIALS?

value and uniqueness of Security 401: SANS Security Essentials,
