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

Building Cyber Skills. Advancing Institutional Security.
Level Up Your 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.
