This course will introduce programming with the R language. The emphasis is strongly on programming, and statistical topics will only be glanced. The basics of R language are covered on the first day, and the second day will shortly introduce visualizations, statistical tools and data technologies using R. The course will progress quite rapidly, so previous exposure to programming with some other language probably makes following the course easier. The course consists of lectures (50%) and hands-on exercises (50%) with R.

This curriculum consists of eleven intense course days and provides an introduction to efficient usage and programming of supercomputers. Discussed topics include programming and scripting languages, parallel programming techniques and techniques for improving application performance.

This course is an introduction to efficient use of CSC's metacomputer environment: data storage, batch job systems, the Scientist's Interface. Also compiling applications to the systems is addressed.

SANS has partnered with FISA (Finnish Information Security Association) and CSC IT Center for Science to bring the AUD507: Auditing Networks, Perimeters, and Systems course to Finland. This course is intended for security professionals, system and network administrators looking to better prepare for an audit. The course is also suited for managers responsible for overseeing the work of an audit or security team. IT services and systems are more and more subjected to external audits to ensure management and administration according to best information security practices. This course gives you the international state-of-the-art best practices for self-audits and for preparing for external audits. The course topics include: firewall and perimeter auditing, a proven six-step audit process, time based auditing, effective network population auditing, how to perform useful vulnerability assessments, uncovering back doors, building an audit toolkit, detailed router auditing, technical validation of network controls, web application auditing, and audit tools. The price of this 6-day-course is €2 850. Detailed information and registration at SANS course page, click on the course link.
