About SANS Newsbites
SANS Newsbites is the 'executive summary' for the InfoSec world. Its twice-weekly email is famous for its 'Expert Commentary'—instead of just linking to a story, it features short, punchy analysis from world-class SANS instructors on why a story matters and what you should do about it. It's unique for its 'The Rest of the Story' section, which provides the critical context often missing from mainstream news. It is an essential read for anyone who needs to keep their finger on the pulse and their skills current.
