SANS Pen Test Austin 2018

What is SANS Pen Test Austin 2018?
SANS Pen Test Austin is six days of in-depth, hands-on ethical hacking, penetration testing, and exploit development training for professionals who need to know how to find vulnerabilities within their organizations, understand risk, and prioritize resources based on potential real-world attacks.

"SEC504 is foundational and core strength-building in the most critical areas of incident handling. It reinforces and develops understanding around roles and TTPs of both the adversary and defender." - Araceli Ari Gomes, Dell Secureworks
