I have a serious love-hate relationship with SANS Forensics.
No half off love for feds?
I have a serious love-hate relationship with SANS Forensics.
While I don't have a love-hate relationship, I do want to point out there is probably no better time since the rise of Communism, in terms of funding, for LE than post 9/11.
I have very much enjoyed working with LE, but in my own experience, many threats draw the attention of LE after having first been discovered in the private sector.
And the fact is that the major targets of both private and government hacking is financial markets which means that early detection by the private sector is key to the national security of many modern economies.
So enough with this distinction without a difference. LE and the private sector both have a legitimate interest in the best training and technology available and there should be no discrimination with respect to cost or opportunity.
