Join the renowned investigators of Baker221b and step into the role of a digital detective. In this immersive workshop, participants will tackle a series of mysterious cloud breach cases—each one demanding sharp analytical thinking and technical skill. Working exclusively with popular command-line tools and cloud telemetry data, you will uncover hidden traces of attacker activity, reconstruct timelines, and piece together the story behin...

As fiscal pressure intensifies and community expectations grow, traditional budgeting methods are no longer enough. Cities, counties, and states need more strategic, outcome-driven approaches to ensure limited resources are aligned with the most important goals. Priority-based budgeting gives governments an alternative to indiscriminate, across-the-board cuts — enabling leaders to align funding with priorities, uncover new revenue opport...

Modern application environments now extend across multi-cloud platforms, data centers, and distributed edge locations. With the rise of remote work and AI-driven applications, the attack surface is rapidly expanding. Traditional Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) often fall short in securing this complex landscape or safeguarding AI models, leaving gaps that enable advanced threats. In this webinar, experts from SANS and Cisco will explore the...

Branch offices, remote campuses, and distributed OT/IoT environments have long relied on legacy VPNs, firewalls, and replicated security stacks to stay connected and secure. But these approaches introduce high costs, operational complexity, and leave dangerous gaps—especially around lateral movement within branch networks. In this SANS First Look webcast, we explore how Zscaler’s Zero Trust Branch (ZTB) introduces a new, streamline...

Bootstrap means to start with “existing resources,” is commonly used with startup companies, and is far more widely applicable. There are many examples of successful bootstrapping and many advantages. Tenable, Sourcefire (acquired by Cisco for $2.7 billion), Malwarebytes, and SolarWinds are all companies that were bootstrapped. Wireshark and OSSEC are open source projects that were bootstrapped. The BSides conferences were bootstra...

State and local governments want to move fast with AI — but not at the expense of data security, compliance or control. In this live demo webinar, you'll see how a secure, infrastructure-level approach to AI can simplify operations, reduce manual lift and give IT leaders the peace of mind to scale confidently. This session will walk through how AI data pipelines can be automated, governed and streamlined from the storage layer — no...

Operational Technology (OT) environments are more dependent than ever on remote access—for vendor support, troubleshooting, and data sharing—yet each connection can expand the attack surface. From disruptive ransomware to the cascading impacts seen in events like Ukraine’s 2015 grid attacks and Colonial Pipeline, the lesson is clear: Remote access is both a necessity and a potential vulnerability. This webcast distills guidan...

Public records requests have evolved from routine administrative tasks into a defining challenge for modern government. As public records requests continue to increase in volume and complexity, agencies must balance transparency, efficiency and compliance. Join Government Technology for a fireside chat exploring the shifting landscape of government IT, what that means for public records management today and the strategies your agency can use t...

Migrating to a cloud-based ERP system can feel daunting — especially when public-sector leaders are tasked with doing more with less. Concerns about cost, complexity, and disruption often delay critical modernization efforts. But some agencies aren’t waiting. In this exclusive webinar, IT leadership from Brevard County in Florida will share how they’re tackling those exact challenges head-on, and what they’ve learned in...

The SANS 2026 Kubernetes and CNAPP Forum is a focused, one-day event designed for security professionals, DevOps teams, and cloud architects seeking to secure modern, containerized applications. As Kubernetes and Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPPs) become core to enterprise infrastructure, this forum explores the evolving threat landscape, key attack vectors, and emerging defense strategies. Through expert-led sessions, tech...
