WRONG.  SANS does not provide anything but marketing opportunities for
vendors who cannot sell product any other way and a thicker wallet for
those at the top of the pyramid scheme.  I agree that training when
you are starting out is important but SANS is not an ethical or
legitimate training institution and does more to harm security than it
does to help.
