SANS 502 - Firewalls, Perimeter Protection & VPNs is an undiscovered gem in the SANS armada of training offerings. It's an excellent overview of technologies and concepts that any entry level Information Security professional going into a corporate environment needs. While it may not be as sexy as the penetration testing classes SANS also offers, it definitely still holds value for anyone who plans (or ends up) responsible for protecting a corporate network environment. This class corresponds to the GIAC GCFW certification. Personal comments aside, here's the flyer SANS has just sent out:
