Chicago, Illinois -- November 10, 2003 -- Nearly fifty security professionals from across the country attended the six day event that included both world class lectures delivered by a Sph3r3 representative as well as hands-on sessions.  SANS instrutor selection requires Sph3r3 to be on the cutting edge of the industry and maintain very high ratings with each attendee.  Sph3r3 achieved an average score of 9.4 on a scale of 10 for the entire event, with 10 as the best rating for any section.  The SANS GSEC and CISSP training program is the best in security industry and is outlined below.

Maximize your training time and turbo-charge your career in security by learning both the 10 Domains needed to pass the CISSP exam and the full SANS Security Essentials curriculum needed to qualify for the GSEC certification. In addition, we offer hands-on training for thirty of the most popular security tools in our evening bootcamp sessions.

In this track, you will learn the language and underlying theory of computer security; and at the same time, you will learn the essential, up-to-the-minute knowledge and skills required for effective performance if you are given the responsibility for securing systems and/or organizations.

This course meets both of the key promises SANS makes to our students: (1) You will gain up-to-the-minute knowledge you can put into practice immediately upon returning to work and (2) SANS identifies the best security instructors to teach their courses, by choosing from those who have ranked highest in a nine-year competition among potential security faculty. As always, great teaching sets SANS courses apart. This program offers great teaching along with the ability to master the material needed for the two most popular certifications in information security: CISSP and GSEC.
