Could we get a nice (free) place at the UofM(?) for this presentation? If the cost is $650 for unlimited number of people :-), who would be interested in by like $10-$15 to hear this speaker? ----- Forwarded message from The SANS Institute <sans at sans.org> ----- > Hello, I'm Stephen Northcutt from the SANS Institute.
