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.
