SANS Technology Institute: Security Laboratory
Welcome to the Security Laboratory. I'm Stephen Northcutt and like many of you I am a manager and leader with an information technology job. At the SANS Technology Institute, we are always striving to become more skilled and knowledgeable in computer security as well as the people side of the job. The "Security Labratory", for you creative spellers, is an informal set of articles and whitepapers, almost a blog, about security, information technology, and the computer security industry. As we learn more, ponder issues and research content for SANS Security 401 Security Essentials and the GIAC Security Essentials Certification, we will continue to add to this site. Our hope is for this to be a resource for the community and we would love to hear from you. Feel free to drop us a note at stephen@sans.edu.

- Sec Lab - Security Heroes
The SANS Security Heroes project is to help introduce you to people that have made a difference in information security. We believe there are a lot of people contributing to make security work, and we want to introduce you to them.
Craig Wright, Security Hero - April 4th, 2008
By Stephen Northcutt
Craig Wright certainly qualifies as a security hero! He has written articles and books on security and has nearly every SANS and GIAC certificate available (including platinum). He is a GIAC Technical Director, and jack-of-all-trades and master of a few.
Peter Giannoulis, Security Hero - March 19th, 2008
By Stephen Northcutt
Peter Giannoulis certainly qualifies as a security hero! He has written articles for SC & Information Security Magazine, has been a real work horse for SANS and GIAC, and now, as you will see, he is working on his own signature approach to sharing security information. He is a truly busy guy, a contributor to the SANS Security Laboratory
Suzanne Novak, Security Hero - February 13th, 2008
By Stephen Northcutt
I met Suzanne, Executive Vice President of ERUdyne, LLC and President of the Connecticut Chapter of InfraGard, as we were doing our due diligence related to running a SANS conference in Boston. Suzanne also serves as a Disaster Assistance Employee (Reservist) for FEMA as an External Affairs Specialist from Region I (New England). Her professional focus is on developing and implementing strategies that facilitate information sharing, one of the hardest problems to solve, especially in a disaster.

By Stephen Northcutt
Please allow the Security Laboratory to introduce Laura Taylor and her unlikely career in Information Security.
