SANS DEV522 September 2018 - New York, NY

New York! SANS DEV522 - Defending Web Applications Security Essentials is coming soon...

Class begins on September 17, 2018 (Monday through Saturday) when we will learn all about defending web applications while preparing for the GIAC GWEB (Certified Web Application DEFENDER) certification.




This is a six day Community SANS event, complete with an attack/lab virtual machine, books, all class materials and immersive, hands-on training every day.

One of my favorite things about this class is the amount of material - its quite in-depth. You keep the tools, you keep the custom VM, you keep the labs and you gain great experience... more details are below.
