As SANS/GIAC slowly revamps their course material especially Firewalls 101
:) it will be well worth attending. It really depends on what you are
looking for.. If you are looking for a real hands-on course, enroll in a
vendor course first to get a taste of the product, then attend a SANS/GIAC
course to understand at 30,000 level. Some of the material in Firewalls
101 is very applicable to every day use, some of it is conceptual.
Marcus Ranum used to teach an awesome (and I do mean AWESOME) Introduction
to Firewalls and Practice No Theory course a couple of years back.
Chris Brenton also teaches the SANS/GIAC Firewalls 101 course, and is
working on improving the material so that attendees can utilize the
material at their workplace.
The whole idea of attending a conference like SANS/GIAC is to pick the
tutorial sessions that can be applied to your normal day at work and show
that the amount of money spent will definitely have an instant ROI..
