I am passing this on...

SANS is pleased to announce that Seattle will host our special course,
SANS 464:  Hacker Detection for System Administrators, on June 13-14.
This course is designed to help organizations combat advance persistent
threats.   The course is being offered in partnership with Attachmate
Corp.

Recent attacks on Google, RSA, HBGary, US DoD, and now Sony have proven
that traditional defense-in-depth measures such as Anti-Virus, Intrusion
Detection/Prevention Systems, and automated vendor monitoring solutions
do not provide sufficient protection against large scale and targeted
attacks.

SANS has developed a course, Hacker Detection for System Administrators,
which focuses on getting your system administrators trained to serve as
a Human Sensor Network against unauthorized network access in your
environment.

The initial training is a 2 day class, with 9 hands-on labs, followed by
quarterly threat briefings which leverage the skills taught during the
first two days of class.   This continuous educational model allows you
and your organization to keep yourselves vigilant against the most
current threats, and know what to do when you discover a prolonged,
unauthorized access.  It happens to the best organizations.  The issue
is not how to prevent the attacks, but how to minimize the risk of large
scale, so called APTs.

The course is aimed security professionals together with system
administrators, help desk professionals and IT operations managers.
