The SANS Institute has announced a $1 million contribution to the International Multilateral Partnership Against Cyber-Terrorism (IMPACT) and started sharing technical information with the organization.

The two groups plan to expand developing countries’ online security resources, they said yesterday in an announcement issued at the IMPACT World Cyber Security Summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

IMPACT and SANS plan to start by launching the Improved Cyber Defenses Though Cybersecurity Training and Skills Development activity. That project will conduct hands-on courses in core cybersecurity activities such as forensics, intrusion detection and penetration testing, they said.

The training project is aimed at providing world-class training to cybersecurity specialists working in every country, regardless of income level.
