SANS may be pricing themselves out of the market.

SANS provides IT education at a ridiculously high price. They may just be pricing themselves out of the market. There are more and more very good quality sources at reasonable prices coming online and expect many more to start-up. One I have discovered recently is Mile2. The video training is the best I have ever seen and the instruction is excellent. Prices are very reasonable. www.mile2.com In February 2002, Mile2 was established in response to the critical need for an international team of IT security training experts to mitigate threats against national and corporate security far beyond USA borders in the aftermath of 9/11.
