Academic Partners
Software and Application Security Academic Partners Program
Universities and community colleges around the world partnering with SANS have made a commitment to ensure their students have access to course materials that will enable them to graduate with a strong foundation in secure programming and secure application development.
SSI will help the Academic Partners by co-sponsoring workshops, where their faculty will learn and share effective teaching techniques - especially how to integrate secure coding into core programming courses. Approved Academic Partners can also act as learning centers to teach SSI material to regional employers.
Each Academic Partner will also become a GSSP testing site, where their students can demonstrate mastery of secure programming skills and knowledge. Programmers from surrounding employers and independent developers will also be able to take advantage of the Academic Partner's testing site.
