SANS courses address the actual problems security professionals face today. Our world-class instructors are practitioners who solve real-world problems and who can present "proven" solutions. You just cannot find SANS-level teaching anywhere else! In addition to being seasoned professionals, SANS faculty members are extraordinary speakers. They bring the information to life with real-world stories, and enable you to leave with the knowledge and confidence to put what you learned to work the day you return to the office.

SANS Network Security 2008 will feature a Vendor Tools Expo & Reception, which will give you a chance to see live demonstrations of cutting-edge technologies. There will also be numerous Lunch & Learn presentations and Cocktail Briefs to help you find the right mix of tools and solutions to meet your company's unique challenges.

This event provides plenty of networking opportunities so that you can increase your list of technical and professional contacts. Valuable professional relationships are forged at SANS events that last for years.

Not only are the NS2008 instructors first-class, but so is the hotel! This year we return to Caesars Palace, one of the best facilities in the country to host a major training event. We've arranged a special discounted rate of $185 S/D for SANS attendees. This rate includes high-speed internet in your room. Make your reservations now as this special rate is only available through September 5, 2008.

Start making your plans today to join SANS in Las Vegas. I look forward to meeting you there!

Kind Regards,
