About Lenny

Aptly called the "Yoda" of malware analysis by his students, Lenny Zeltser keeps his eye on the big picture and focuses on the sum of events rather than individual occurrences. He lives by that philosophy and brings it to his job and classroom. "Even those professional moments that seem insignificant by themselves can be an important piece of the progressive journey that, hopefully, takes us toward our career objectives and honors our ideals," says Lenny. "And you may not even see the value in those moments until you look back on the path."

Student Reviews

    “

    FOR610 was the best course I've taken from SANS. It was demanding but engaging, and Lenny Zeltser is the best. I would sign up for anything he is teaching. I'm looking forward to taking what I've learned with me to work.”

    “

    Lenny Zeltser has put great work into making [FOR610] challenging yet accessible, and he is extremely knowledgeable and good at communicating that knowledge to students. Labs are also really well done, and the lab book plus the live demo walk us through them perfectly.”

    “

    SEC402 covers a very relevant topic, and Lenny Zeltser has not only mastered this topic but also enjoys it. I'm thrilled that there is a writing course specifically for cybersecurity.”
