Virtualisation, cloud and mobility drive demand for more infosec skills
London, UK: Registrations for SANS London 2012, Europe’s largest InfoSec training event, have reached 95% capacity as demand for skilled professionals continues to rise. Last year, 400 students attended SANS London but the move to a new venue at the Grand Connaught Rooms in Covent Garden combined with a larger roster of 15 courses has led to increased interest.
“The level of early registration has been phenomenal and several courses have completely sold out,” said Gareth Dance, GSEC Conference Director, EMEA., “The increase in virtualisation, cloud computing and mobility have given rise to new security challenges which we believe has prompted much of the demand as organisations struggle to maintain the competency levels of internal teams and specialist contractors update their skills to meet new drivers. Even though our Security Essentials Bootcamp and Hacker Techniques, Exploits & Incident Handling courses have sold out in London, both courses will also be available again in early February at our next event in Brussels.”
“We are urging any students that have missed out to consider this event which will also offer our popular Web App Penetration testing course and an updated Securing Windows course which is extremely relevant with the arrival of the new version of the popular Microsoft operating systems,” Dance added.
