Steve Armstrong-Godwin’s career began more than 25 years ago when he joined the UK Royal Air Force (RAF), bringing with him a love of IT and a desire to protect others. When the opportunity to move into information security presented itself, Steve jumped at the chance, eventually leading the RAF's penetration and TEMPEST testing teams and having some memorable work experiences along the way. “There’s nothing quite like securing wireless networks under attack while in a warzone with full body armour, loaded weapons, and hacking gear in 50+ degree centigrade heat,” he recalls. Steve is the author of the LDR553: Cyber Incident Management course.

How often do you practice or exercise your major cyber incident plans? How often do involve your execs? Most people when asked said they'd love to cyber exercise more but don't know how.
As we head into the last quarter of 2023, three major mandate changes are occurring, each positioned to make a large impact on how businesses, governmental bodies, and critical sector organizations operate. The goal of the SANS Cyber Compliance Countdown is to focus on what you need to know in these complicated and broad requirements and to offer solutions on how to meet these directives.
Wondering in the middle of a major incident how you engage with your local Law Enforcement or even your DR/Insurance provided external Counsel is not a good position to be in.
SANS instructor Steve Armstrong-Godwin dives deep into crisis management in this session – addressing the threat, the problem, and how attackers work.
Every organization should be performing risk assessments as a part of their cybersecurity program. Regular risk assessments allow organizations to create practical strategies for defense and evaluate where there are weaknesses in their cybersecurity program that could keep them from achieving their goals. Listen to this session for key insights into foundational knowledge and tools to consider in planning a risk assessment for your organization.
Drawing inspiration from "The Matrix," this talk challenges the conventional belief that you're in control. Imagine your IR plans as the blue pill, offering a false sense of security. Choose the red pill, and Steve will guide you through Wonderland, exposing the intricacies missing from your strategies.
