SANS 501 for the GCED certification has been taught for several years now. It's a detailed examination of six topics related to enterprise security (penetration testing, packet analysis, malware, computer forensics, incident response, data loss prevention, and defensive network architecture). I hear that 501 has a lot of very useful information, and is usually taken by people who believe that SANS 401 will be too easy for them.

I see. I misunderstood then. What is soon to come is the OnDemand version of this course, which was not yet available.

BTW. Remove Computer Forensics from your list and you´ll have the 6 topics taught in it. I wish Computer Forensics was touched in this course. Other than that it looks appealing to me, after completing 401.
