SANS Technology Institute: Leadership Laboratory
Welcome to the Leadership Laboratory. I'm Stephen Northcutt and like many of you I am an information security manager and leader with an information technology job. At the SANS Technology Institute, we are always striving to become more skilled and knowledgeable in computer security management as well as the people side of the job. The "Leadership Labratory", for you creative spellers, is an informal set of articles and whitepapers, almost a blog, about management, information technology, and the computer security industry. As we learn more, ponder issues and research content for SANS Management 512 Security Leadership Essentials For Managers and the GIAC Security Leadership Certification, we will continue to add to this site. Our hope is for this to be a resource for the community and we would love to hear from you. Feel free to drop us a note at stephen@sans.edu.
