SANS Computer Forensics Training Website

SANS and Rob Lee developed the SANS Computer Forensics site and related resources to provide a ‘home’ for those that are focused on computer forensics. You can find additional advice, research, training, and other resources to unravel incidents and fight crime there.

The SANS Institute

The SANS (SysAdmin, Audit, Network, Security) Institute is the most trusted and by far the largest source for information security training and certification in the world. It also develops, maintains, and makes available at no cost, the largest collection of research documents about various aspects of information security, and it operates the Internet’s early warning system – Internet Storm Center.

SANS Computer & Information Security Training

SANS provides intensive, immersion training designed to help you and your staff master the practical steps necessary for defending systems and networks against the most dangerous threats – the ones being actively exploited. The courses are full of important and immediately useful techniques that you can put to work as soon as you return to your offices. They were developed through a consensus process involving hundreds of administrators, security managers, and information security professionals, and address both security fundamentals and awareness, and the in-depth technical aspects of the most crucial areas of IT security.

Information Security Certification


The Global Information Assurance Certification (GIAC)
was founded in 1999 to validate the real-world skills of IT security professionals. GIAC’s purpose is to provide assurance that a certified individual has practical awareness, knowledge and skills in key areas of computer and network and software security. GIAC currently offers certifications for over 20 job-specific responsibilities that reflect the current practice of information security. GIAC is unique in measuring specific knowledge areas instead of general purpose information security knowledge.
