SANS Institute

The SANS Institute (SysAdmin, Audit, Networking, and Security) is an organization focusing on providing computer security education and information security training. It was founded in 1989. When originally organized, SANS Conferences were like most traditional technical conferences, being a forum for paper presentations. By the mid-1990s, it would evolve into a security/audit training forum. Most of the training it provides are tied to one of the many GIAC Security Certifications.

SANS operates the following Web sites: *Internet Storm Center *[http://www.giac.org/ GIAC Security Certification] *[http://www.sans.org/score S.C.O.R.E. (Security Consensus Operational Readiness Evaluation)]
