SANS Announces the Agenda for Dallas Cyber Security Training Event

BETHESDA, Md., Aug. 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SANS Institute, the global leader in cyber security training, today announced the agenda for SANS Dallas Fall 2018 (#SANSDallas) taking place November 5-10 in Texas. The event features courses to help security professionals at every level hone their skills to better protect against cyber attacks. Bonus evening talks will touch upon some of today's most complex security issues including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

According to Attorney and SANS course author and instructor Benjamin Wright (@benjaminwright), "The GDPR is a major milestone in the history of privacy law. Although strictly speaking it is a law of the European Union (EU), it is having influence far beyond the borders of the EU. Now that it has formally gone into effect, we have much to learn about its practical impact. It articulates very high aspirations for privacy compliance, but the world is watching to see how well organizations meet those aspirations and the degree to which regulators enforce those aspirations. Join me in Dallas where I will cover what to do now in regards to GDPR compliance."

In addition to his evening talk, Wright will teach his LEG523: Law of Data Security and Investigations course. This course covers the law of fraud, crime, policy, contracts, liability, IT security and active defense - all with a focus on electronically stored and transmitted records. It also covers how a breach involving EU data can lead to a cascade of investigations into not just security, but all aspects of GDPR compliance, even if a company has no physical presence in the EU.

All courses offered at SANS Dallas Fall 2018 are associated with GIAC certifications. Courses and bonus evening discussions cover a broad range of topics including cyber defense, ethical hacking, penetration testing, legal and security management.
