SANS Governments Partnership Program
CIS Partnership
The partnership between SANS and the Center for Internet Security (CIS) draws on the shared mission to ensure that InfoSec practitioners in critical organizations have the skills needed to protect national security and enhance the cybersecurity readiness and response of state, provincial, local, tribal, and territorial government entities. This program offers both security awareness and online technical training courses to qualifying organizations at substantial cost savings.
