BETHESDA, Md., Feb. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- SANS Institute, the global leader in cyber security training, today announced the agenda for SANS New Orleans 2019 (#SANSNewOrleans) taking place May 19-24 in Louisiana. Courses and evening talks will offer tips and techniques to help security professionals build the vital skills needed to more effectively combat the growing wave of breaches and cyber-attacks. Included on the agenda is a talk by SANS Certified Instructor, Mick Douglas (@BetterSafetyNet), "Instant Response: Making Your Systems as Hostile as Possible to Attackers".
