I'm confused as to how SANS is considered "vendor-focused"? I've taken
at least 3 of their classes and don't recall ever hearing them pimp
one vendor over another. An instructor might give their opinion or
preference but the organization overall has always been vendor
agnostic. What vendors are you referring to?
