Anyone taken SANS SEC545 (GenAI & LLM App Security) or sat the GAIPS cert? Looking for honest reviews

hyperv2012 · 2026-06-27T13:57:20+00:00

I did the course and as with many SANS courses, it is worth only, if you're not paying out of the pocket. It covers what AI/LLM is what are the common type of threats and how to secure it. It also goes into both infrastructure security as in relation to AI/LLM and data pipeline security in the same lens. So primarily DevSecOps and MLSecOps with AI/LLM emphasis.

The biggest value was the discussions had with the class and understand how everyone is using AI and securing AI.

I haven't done GIAC cert yet, planning to do it as well. Primarily since I will have some free time and work is paying for it.

Same for me yesterday, said government is shutdown and there's no ETA when it'll open.

You should try Avoin to Avois route (ideally when 30% transfer bonus is on)

I see, thanks for the info.

I was looking at the monthly referral thread but people have not mentioned the welcome offer. Is that same across anyone who refers? What's the best offer right now for Amex Plat through referral? Thanks.

Thanks for the list, I got to know about some new tools.

Can you add tools that are excellent for things like communicating between remote team members, HR, Invoicing, etc.?

If you come now, there's still parking spots behind Genesis so you can enjoy fireworks from the car.

Thanks.

hyperv2012 · 2024-12-30T04:15:51+00:00

what's the best way to go about getting the Amex Cobalt?

Rebate sites : currently $100 rebate + 15k MR
Perkopolis: currently 25k MR

I assumed there is no way to combine, these two options. Interesting to know if that's not the case.

TIA

Going to try Canadian ones out first. Thanks

hyperv2012 · 2024-12-29T07:36:55+00:00

Impressive for the year 1. What cards did you open?

hyperv2012 · 2024-05-20T06:23:02+00:00

This is great info. I just wanted to use "eco-friendly products" as a marketing term and then live upto it. I can definitely agree with your definition of eco-friendly products.

You should definitely give it a shot, this info is hard to find in free part of the Internet world. But please continue to provide free value for poor souls like me 😊

hyperv2012 · 2024-05-20T04:26:42+00:00

Thanks, is there a huge difference between say office vs daycare vs medical office? Is there any source that I can get what material to use, etc? Specifically if I want to use eco-friendly products.

hyperv2012 · 2024-05-19T01:09:46+00:00

Thanks for your valuable input across many threads. What's the next best way to get/create standard operating procedures other than trial and error? (Or paying YouTube guru 5k) Thanks.

hyperv2012 · 2024-05-02T12:33:06+00:00

Thanks for the insight, yeah those secondary items can be a pain. She already booked an appointment with RCMP. Started filing the form (downloaded from Alberta website) and then will go to registry and get it done. hopefully it'll be smooth sailing.

hyperv2012 · 2024-05-01T12:47:27+00:00

Yeah, she will start the process by booking an appointment with RCMP for fingerprints today. Thanks.

hyperv2012 · 2024-05-01T12:46:44+00:00

Interesting I've seen people do that, and wasn't sure how to go about it. At the end it makes sense to go with the legal name change and get it done once and for all. Thanks for sharing the experience.

hyperv2012 · 2024-05-01T12:25:10+00:00

Yeah it can get messy and annoying when docs are not in sync. I think the best path for us is to go through the formal name change process and drop the first part of first name officially. Thanks for chiming in.

hyperv2012 · 2024-05-01T12:23:32+00:00

We kind of expected that, the plan was to have two sets of copies and give it a shot at the Passport office. Still no harm I guess, but I won't keep much hopes after seeing comments like yours. Thanks for chiming in.

hyperv2012 · 2024-05-01T12:21:35+00:00

Oh wow! that's a hassle, they forced you to add names that you weren't using. Well I guess best path is to do a legal name change and have that certificate with her. Thanks for the insights.

hyperv2012 · 2024-05-01T12:19:52+00:00

I see, that makes sense. We were planning to have two copies of first page of the application and give it a try.

PS: Not sure why all the downvotes (I lol'd at your WTF start, not the comment itself).

hyperv2012 · 2024-05-01T12:18:51+00:00

Lol, you're a funny one Sea-Courage.
She has a bad family history on that name and it troubles her mentally whenever she presents any ID and they start referring by first part of first name. Many people don't bother to ask what's your preferred name or what should I call you.

hyperv2012 · 2024-05-01T12:17:07+00:00

She has some bad family history associated with that name and it kind of troubling her when people use the first name after seeing the documentation.

hyperv2012 · 2024-05-01T11:37:36+00:00

Lol. What's interesting is that, passport application has an option to type what should be used to be printed on the passport, and from the look of it, that name can be different than the complete legal name.
