All federal users including contracting officers, program office officials, managers, and executive staff are invited to participate in these complimentary webinars to learn how Alliant 2 can support their agency IT project initiatives. Warranted contracting officers must complete this training before requesting a Delegation of Procurement Authority (DPA), which will authorize them to issue orders against Alliant 2. This webinar is not open to...

This webinar will introduce the attendees to the thousands of low-head dams in the country by describing their purpose, operation, and non-jurisdictional nature – that is, apart from national, state, and local dam safety programs. Dangerous countercurrents that can form at low-head dams, responsible for approximately 1,000 drownings, will be explained and illustrated. Legal case histories involving drownings will be examined and the best...

Join us on Tuesday, May 13 from 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Eastern for The South Fork Dam Breach and Johnstown Flood of 1889: A Civil and Dam Engineering History of the USA’s Deadliest Dam Failure. The 1889 breach of the South Fork Dam, which caused the infamous “Johnstown Flood,” remains the deadliest dam failure in US history. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania built the dam in the mid-1800s as part of a cross-state transportation ne...

As the cyber threat landscape continues to evolve, the past year has presented unique challenges and opportunities for cyber threat intelligence professionals. For 2025, availability has become a critical focus within the CIA triad, with ransomware and service outages high on the agenda, and network defenders and CTI analysts acutely aware of the impact of large-scale network disruptions. Additionally, AI remains a double-edged sword, with bot...

Join us on Tuesday, June 10 from 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Eastern for The Use of Void Ratio (e) in Earth Dams. Void ratio (e) is a term used extensively in soil mechanics. It is a fundamental ratio that quantifies the changes in volume taking place in a soil mass. Earthen dams are constructed with soils that hold back water over a long period of time, even though they are made of pervious materials. The embankment and foundation soils may differ in...

Attackers are increasingly targeting critical infrastructure — including power grids, water systems, heavy manufacturing, and oil and gas — with a deep and sophisticated knowledge of ICS components, industrial protocols, and engineering processes. Employing advanced techniques like Living Off The Land (LOTL) strategies, they repurpose legitimate ICS software for malicious purposes. These tactics, when combined with ransomware and I...

Join us on Tuesday, July 8 from 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Eastern for Piezometric Data Evaluation for Seepage Characterization of Levees and Earth Dams. The webinar will show how to evaluate the time series of piezometric data for dams and levees. Theory tells us that piezometers should respond in relationship to river/reservoir levels (in a linear rate) – but it never does. Seepage computer models cannot reproduce the rate change of piezometer...

In 2025, the SANS SOC Survey will extend its detailed inspection of cybersecurity operations centers. By exploring the capabilities and outsourcing; architectures and cloud use; technologies; hiring and staffing; metrics and funding; threat intel; and automation we develop a global picture of the state of SOCs. Key topics examined on this webcast will include:Capabilities that comprise a SOC and what is outsourcedTechnology deployment and sati...

Cloud adoption continues to grow, and with it, the complexity of securing multiple cloud environments. The SANS 2025 Multicloud Survey will explore how organizations manage security at scale across diverse cloud service providers. This webcast aims to provide insights into survey results, including the tools, techniques, and strategies needed to secure multicloud environments effectively—offering valuable guidance for organizations navig...

Generative AI (GenAI) and large language models (LLM) entered the cybersecurity zeitgeist nearly three years ago, when ChatGPT became available to the public. The industry immediately saw its potential and scrambled to incorporate it in any way that made sense (and many ways that did not make sense). How have our expectations stacked up against reality? What security problems has GenAI made more manageable, if any? The 2025 SANS AI Survey trie...
