ENTERPRISE TECHNOLOGY
Organisations and government instances in Europe benefit from SANS ’ specialised courses that align with the European Cybersecurity skills framework and the NIS2 Directive , enhancing the cybersecurity posture of organisations across the EU .
There have been a variety of strategic partnerships that SANS has set up in both the United Kingdom as well as across Europe , which all aim to encourage more people to consider a career in cyber security and equally to improve the overall cyber capabilities across the EU .
Throughout the year , SANS will also run a wide range of training events in Europe and the UK , with London and Amsterdam hosting a SANS training event nearly every month .
North America
On the other side of the globe , North America faces expansive cybersecurity challenges due to its highly digitalised economy . The US National Cyber Strategy , alongside sector-specific mandates , outlines a robust approach to securing the vast digital landscape against sophisticated cyber adversaries . North America has also seen an increased focus and effort on expanding its ’ regulations around cybersecurity .
The recent US SEC ruling on Incident Reporting and Management oversight , mandates prompt reporting of cyber incidents , disclosures on cybersecurity processes , and detailed board management oversight . Overall , this implies that organisations – and especially larger enterprise organisations – now have to take cybersecurity more seriously up to the highest level of management .
North America ’ s diverse cybersecurity landscape is addressed through SANS ’ comprehensive training programmes , which cover everything from cloud security to the management of AI-related risks . These programmes are designed to prepare professionals to confront and mitigate the cyber threats that are particularly prevalent in a highly advanced digital economy .
Secure Compliance Solutions in the Gulf Region focuses on aligning cybersecurity practices with regulatory requirements .
Next to a wide array of Summits that SANS organises across multiple fields , ranging from New2Cyber , Digital Forensics and ICS , to Cloud , SANS also hosts a series of nation-wide training events . SANSFIRE , SANS Network Security and the SANS Cyber Defence Initiative , hosted in Washington DC and Las Vegas , consist of anywhere between 30 to 45 classes .
And the next CloudSecNext summit will see all three major cloud platform providers take the stage , including Microsoft , Google and Amazon , in August . These are great gatherings for cyber security professionals from all over the globe .
Partnerships and alliances
In the Gulf , one of these programmes is the Cyber Reskilling Academy which SANS and Tamkeen ran in Bahrain , targeting Bahraini nationals who were seeking to move into a cybersecurity career and train them to become true professionals .
