SANS Cyber Security Training Institute, the world's leading cybersecurity training and certification organization, will return to Dubai in November with its largest event in the Gulf region. The two-week event runs from November 16 to 28 and offers 10 training sessions. SANZ offers the Gulf region the specialized technical skills and extensive knowledge of the professionals working in the Gulf States, which enables them to stay ahead of cyber criminals and to protect institutions in the region. The Gulf region has undergone a tremendous and continuous digital transformation over the past 5 to 10 years. As a result, in addition to its geographical and strategic importance on the world stage, the region has become a prime target for cyber criminals and pirates. The courses cover a number of areas such as event response, threat investigation, cybercrime evidence, hacking tools, networking and reverse engineering, as well as a wide range of other skills that support internal and external security teams. NetWars is a powerful tool that tests the capabilities of security teams in the event of a major cyber security attack.
"While organizations in the Gulf region continue to be attacked by cyber criminals, the risks of data and network security are growing," said Nad Balta Ji, executive director of the Sanz Training Institute for Cyber Security in the Middle East and Africa. Each of Sanz's training courses is designed to provide cybersecurity professionals with specialized training and knowledge on how to protect their organizations from cyberattacks, whether it be complex international attacks on critical national infrastructure or one of the growing attacks to steal data from institutions. The Sanz Institute continues to be committed to enhancing the knowledge and self-reliance of institutions in the GCC, and our mission is to provide advanced information security skills and knowledge to all students to protect people and assets. ”
