SANS Educational Institutions Partnership
NYSERNet coordinates participation in the SANS Aggregate Buy Program on behalf of our members.

Building Cyber Skills. Advancing Institutional Security.
Get World-Class Cybersecurity Training at Exclusive Member Pricing.
Twice a year, NYSERNet coordinates participation in the SANS Aggregate Buy Program on behalf of our members. Through this program, educational institutions gain access to top-tier technical training, certifications, and awareness programs at substantial cost savings.
SANS Institute is recognized globally for delivering the most trusted cybersecurity training available — and by joining through NYSERNet, members receive exclusive benefits, flexibility, and support.
Why Order Through NYSERNet?
By participating through NYSERNet, members get additional advantages beyond standard aggregate buy pricing:
✅ Order Less Than the Minimum – SANS requires three-course minimums per order,
but NYSERNet pools member purchases, allowing you to buy just one course if needed.
✅ No Expiration Worries – Vouchers technically never expire.
Each time NYSERNet makes a group purchase, all vouchers in our account are extended.
✅ Simplified Administration – We handle ordering, invoicing, and voucher management for you.
✅ Exclusive Cost Savings – Members save thousands compared to retail pricing.
Previous aggregate buys have offered savings of over 50% compared to retail.
