Mission Statement
The SANS Institute was established in 1989 as a cooperative research and education organization.
Today, SANS teaches more than 14,000 application and network security practitioners each year. With more than 70,000 alumni and 165,000 community practitioners receiving SANS research and project information, SANS is the most trusted and by far the largest source for information security training and certification in the world.
The SANS Software Security Institute (SSI) focuses the deep resources of SANS on the growing threats to the application layer. SSI provides training, certification and a library of research and community initiatives to help developers, architects, programmers, and application security managers protect their software/web applications.
SSI programs are designed to teach and enable implementation of the most effective secure coding and software development lifecycle (SDL) practices.
