BETHESDA, Md., May 10, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- SANS Institute, the global leader in cyber security training, today announced the agenda for SANSFIRE 2018 taking place in Washington, D.C. July 14–21. The event features hands-on courses designed to help improve an organization's security posture.  Included among the course line-up is the new SEC530: Defensible Security Architecture course which addresses the challenges of implementing modern cyber defenses.

According to SANS Instructor and co-author of the SEC530 course, Justin Henderson (@SecurityMapper), "A defensible security architecture requires understanding and controlling data in motion and at rest by implementing both preventative and detective controls that layer on top of one another." Henderson continues, "The new SANS SEC530: Defensible Security Architecture course addresses the challenges of implementing modern cyber defenses by showing how to use existing technologies in innovative ways while applying multiple strategies such as data-centric and zero trust security approaches."

SEC530 details how organizations can best protect themselves by showing it is less about specialized products and services and having the latest "shiny next-gen solution". Rather, attendees will learn how to use what they have to the fullest extent.
