SANS Institute is hosting its autumn training event in Riyadh this October, providing cyber security professionals in the Kingdom with the hands-on skills and latest tools and techniques to defend their organisations against security breaches and prevent future attacks. SANS Riyadh October will be held from the 5th to the 10th October, 2019 at the Burj Rafal Hotel, Riyadh.

Ned Baltagi, Managing Director, Middle East and Africa at SANS Institute, said: “The recent cyber-attacks in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have shown that organisations there remain vulnerable. SANS’ courses are designed to train cybersecurity professionals in the Kingdom to defend against all kinds of attack, from sophisticated nation-state driven attacks on the Kingdom’s critical and national infrastructure to more everyday attacks targeting data theft from the organisation. SANS Institute remains committed to increasing the levels of self-reliance among organisations in Saudi Arabia and other GCC countries.”

As with every SANS training event, all courses come with the assurance that students will be able to use the new skills they have learned as soon as they return to work.

SANS Riyadh will also prepare attendees for the appropriate GIAC Certification associated with their course, as well as providing an opportunity to network with like-minded security professionals facing similar challenges. Delegates can also attend evening bonus sessions led by SANS Instructors which provide further insight into the latest cyber security topics.
