SANS- GIAC is committed to closing the cybersecurity skills and talent gap in the European Union. We pledge to offer trainings to 50,000 EU citizens by end of December 2024.
Our pledge
Established in 1989, SANS | GIAC is a leading research, certification, and education organisation. The training we provide is developed by top cybersecurity practitioners and focuses on teaching real world skills. Our promise is that everyone who completes our training can apply what they've learned the day they return to work. GIAC certifications are validated by ISO/IEC 17024 standards and include lab-based scenarios and performance-based testing that validate skills in top cybersecurity work roles. SANS | GIAC is committed to supporting the development of cyber security skills within the European Union (EU) through our training, assessments, and GIAC certifications.
