Promo<\/span> Cyber attackers are a diverse lot. They can strike from anywhere in the world, and may be motivated by greed, politics, status, or pure malevolence. And their techniques range from the dazzlingly sophisticated to the frankly crude, technically speaking.<\/p>\n

So it makes sense that security pros also can \u2013 indeed should – come from a range of backgrounds and have a variety of motivations. Whether you\u2019re leaping in straight out of school, are an experienced techie making a change mid-career, or are switching from line of business, the only essentials are a sense of curiosity and a willingness to learn. Which is why SANS has developed the SANS Foundations: Computers, Technology, and Security Course<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is a brand new programme designed, as SANS says, to be the \u201cbest single course available to learn the core knowledge and develop practical skills in computers, technology, and security fundamentals that are needed to kickstart a career in cybersecurity.\u201d<\/p>\n
