"It is difficult and expensive to get hands on material covering the latest products like Sourcefire, PaloAlto, and Fortinet. I am making those classes to give students the education they need at a reasonable cost - with practical experience backing it. I try to go the extra step showing how the product works and show configuration by providing an example that works in real life. Not just covering the concepts."
