I have not taken nor am familiar with the MIS course.  However, I have
      attended a 1 day security class given

by Steve Glanstein thru the The 400 Group.  As you may know Steve
      participates on this list when he has the

isn't out surfing :-).  I cannot speak highly enough of this class to do it
      justice.  I found it to be very interesting,

informative and full of useful information.  For me it was probably the
      best one day of education I have ever

attended (excluding some days at COMMON with sessions given by Al, Charlie,
      and Bob :-)).



Seriously,  I would give this class consideration.  I think it is
      beneficial to both new and experienced AS/400

security personnel.  Unfortunately, I cannot compare and contrast it to
      other options such as the MIS course.



You may contact The 400 Group at 888-400-Group or at www.the400group.com.
      Unfortunately, the web site

shows nothing about Steve's seminar which probably presents a problem.  If
      they are no longer sponsoring the

seminar you may wish to contact Steve privately at surgeon-mic@aloha.com.
