<<<WRONG. SANS does not provide anything but marketing opportunities for vendors who cannot sell product any other way and a thicker wallet for those at the top of the pyramid scheme. I agree that training when you are starting out is important but SANS is not an ethical or legitimate training institution and does more to harm security than it does to help.>>>>
Do you always spew such crap? Having taken SANS courses I must respectfully disagree with your statement. SANS is both ethical and legitimate, and I challenge ANYONE on this list to prove otherwise. One should not rely on a sole provider of education however. Multiple education sources always will provide the aspiring security professional with a better viewpoint than just one education vendor.
