Dear Security Express,

I am sure you would agree that in any type of emergency response
situation, the personnel involved must have proper training for the job.
The time to learn how to handle an incident is not during the crisis
itself! At the SANS Internet Storm Center, we deal with significant
Internet threats on a daily basis and have assembled a world-class team
of professional incident handlers trained in a multitude of different
response techniques. Where did our handlers get their outstanding
training? Well, I am glad you asked!

SANSFIRE 2006 - SANS Forensics, Investigation, Response and Education
is just the event for you if you are looking for the breadth of courses
necessary to cope with today's sophisticated attacks. Join us on July
5-13 in Washington, DC where you will learn about the latest security
threats and how to protect your networks from them. Taught by industry
leaders and top ISC incident handlers, SANSFIRE 2006 is the security
professional's number one choice for learning how to deal with old and
new threats, in an intense environment geared for maximum learning and
understanding.

SANSFIRE offers several evening talks as part of our SANSNIGHT series.
You will hear from several ISC handlers such as Lorna "Malware Queen"
Hutcheson who will talk about malware analysis and reverse engineering.
Listen to Robert "I browse with netcat" Danford discuss how his armies
of honey monkeys patrol the seedy part of the Internet for new exploits
while measuring the effectiveness of countermeasures. Also, learn from
Scott "Bot Slayer" Fendley about the soft underbelly of the botnet world
he explores. These are just three of a dozen exciting SANSNight
sessions that will fill your evenings with personal knowledge and
experience beyond what you will learn in the daytime classes.

The breadth and depth of course subjects offered guarantees that whether
you are new to information security or a seasoned professional, you will
find a course to suit your training needs. We offer eighteen hands-on
immersion courses including Security 617: Assessing and Securing
Wireless Networks and our famous Security 504: Hacker Techniques,
Exploits & Incident Handling!

The Nation's Capitol provides a perfect backdrop for SANSFIRE 2006!
Arrive a couple of days early with your family and enjoy the fireworks,
parades and free concerts that are part of the Fourth of July
festivities. SANS has arranged special hotel rates at the Marriott
Wardman Park Hotel for our attendees, so take advantage of them to see
the town. But make your reservations soon as the special rates will
only be honored based on availability through Wednesday, June 14th.

Attending SANS training is the best career move you will ever make. The
education provided and the networking opportunities available are
unparalleled in this industry. Moreover, you will be able to use what
you learn in the classroom as soon as you return to the office. So
become a part of SANS tradition by joining us for SANSFIRE 2006! Full
details and registration information are on our website -

I look forward to meeting you in DC!

Kind regards,
