Hi community,
I'm keen to look at SANS courses for some additional training and possible certification on cloud and cyber security architecture.

As I'm already CISSP and CCSP certified, I'm unsure if a) it'll be worth while, i.e. how much of what I've already learned will simply be rehashed by the SANS training, and b) if it's far more superior and worth the "I-can-buy-a-car-with-this-money" price tag for the training, where do I start? i.e. do I look at the Cloud Security Essentials course and move up, or do I jump in elsewhere?

Having no experience with SANS/GIAC I have no clue if the quality of the training is generally higher and thus worth it, or if it's mostly because of the perceived reputation and I'm not going add that much more to my existing knowledge and experience.

    SANS 530 for security architecture and 549 for cloud security architecture. 

    Miles better than ISC2 in my opinion, Have got the certs from both. Learning takes a new level.  

    510 for cloud is excellent for architecture too.

    I've been browsing around and the SEC 530 seems pretty good, at least what I see on the syllabus on the SANS site. I'm asking around some more on other forums as well and there seems to be mixed reviews of it, but thanks for the recommendation.

    No worries, for what its worth I attended 530 and thought it was excellent. One of the out and out technical security architect certs out there. Just waiting for next year before I do 549 myself. Cheers,
