About SIC


The SANS Innovation Center (SIC) is a recent addition to the SANS Institute. The SANS Institute is the most trusted and largest source of information security training in the world. As the leading organization in computer security training, SANS established SIC as the result of the expansion of our growing business activities, which will now include teaching our courses privately at a government customer's desired location.

In concert with our current federal government clients, our collective efforts are an acknowledgement of the strides government agencies are taking to provide momentous cyber security training to federal employees and the members of the United States Armed Forces.

SIC is offering the same SANS computer security courses that have been developed by industry leaders in numerous fields including network security, software security, forensics, security leadership, audit, and legal. All of the courses are taught by real-world practitioners who not only meet our stringent requirements for excellence, but are also considered among the best in the world. These instructors ensure you not only learn the material, but that you can apply it immediately.

Experience our cyber training courses at your private government location and ask those unique and specific questions pertinent to your job and your organization. Take away exactly what you need without beating around the bush and dancing around the hard questions and issues.







Value of Training

Information technology experts recognize training as a vital component of cyber security and government officials readily acknowledge their own employees must be better prepared and trained on computer use, especially as governments face increasingly sophisticated cyber-threats and as human errors have contributed to widespread data breaches. Former Deputy Under-Secretary for Cybersecurity at the US Department of Homeland Security, Mark Weatherford, views cyber security education and training as essential. He emphasizes that the lack of people with cyber security skills requires urgent attention.

The federal government has identified cyber security as a critical priority, unveiling new efforts to fight the theft of trade secrets and discourage intellectual property theft. In the State of the Union address, President Barack Obama urged Congress to pass legislation to help protect computer networks from attack and further advised enemies are exploring ways to sabotage the power grid, financial institutions, and air traffic control system.


Benefits of SIC

Benefits of a private SANS course at your government location include:

  • Certification: Our courses focus on the skills and knowledge needed to successfully complete the corresponding GIAC Certifications exam while fostering team-building and study groups.
  • Schoolhouse/Cohort: Our courses are a part of leading schoolhouses and cohorts allowing organizations to incorporate SANS hands-on training and industry-wide best practices into their internal programs.
  • Sensitive Topics: Organizations turn to the Private Training program so they can have classes where students can discuss topics freely and the instructor can focus on material that may pertain to a sensitive matter or recent breach.
  • Tailored Courses: Only SANS Private Training allows you to put together a course tailored to your organization, including: teaching specific days of our week-long classes; times you want the class; or removing material you may not find useful.
  • Compliance: All of the courses offered are compliant with the Federal Acquisition Requirements (FAR) and the Defense Federal Acquisition Requirements (DFAR).
  • Location: Courses are offered worldwide and delivered live and onsite at your government location.
