How does GIAC Certification fit with SANS Training?
GIAC certification was developed to help the industry by providing a standard that not only tested theoretical knowledge but also the ability to apply that knowledge in real life. SANS training is organized in tracks that correspond to the various subject areas of the GIAC certification program provides certification in. The training is developed independently from the certification process to ensure that those attending SANS training are well rounded in the area they have chosen to train in, and not just learning how to pass a test.
