BETHESDA, Md., Jan. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- SANS Institute, the global leader in cyber security training and certifications, today announced the agenda for SANS 2020 taking place April 3-10 in Orlando, FL. The event features tips and techniques to prevent, detect and respond to today's most complex cyber threats. Included on the agenda is the new TBT570: Team-Based Training—Blue Team and Red Team Dynamic Workshop course.
SANS Director of Cyber Ranges and Team Training, Ed Skoudis (@edskoudis), explains, "We designed SANS Team-Based Training so people could learn how to deal with advanced persistent threats in real time."

"It's a dynamic, hands-on workshop, where participants learn by mentally and physically working through threats," concluded Skoudis.

Included in the course line-up are SEC402: Cybersecurity Writing: Hack the Reader, SEC450: Blue Team Fundamentals: Security Operations and Analysis, SEC505: Securing Windows and PowerShell Automation, SEC564: Red Team Exercises & Adversary Emulation, FOR498: Battlefield Forensics & Data Acquisition and MGT521: Driving Cybersecurity Change - Establishing a Culture of Protect, Detect and Respond.
