SANS Webcasts for August

[MrLinus]

I get these emails from SANS from time-to-time that advertise their webcasts. I thought I'd pass them on to others. What I will say is that I'm please to see them address the small-to-medium business security issues. Everything I see today is for big monster corporation stuff that benefits from economies of scale. Small businesses (which represent in the US and Canada somewhere between 40-60% of all business types) are often overlooked.

Anyways, these are free to partake in. Enjoy!

I tend to like the "What Works" ones the most. Some may argue that they are glossed over sales pitches, but you can't beat the price to get some inside info on a product that another has already bought and deployed.
