I've decided to wind down Switchback Security Training.

The November classes in Bellevue are cancelled, and I won't be scheduling anything beyond them. Everyone who registered has received a full refund.

Over the past several weeks I've had a steady run of cancellations, including several of our Canadian neighbors who've decided not to travel to the U.S. for business. More significantly, a number of registered attendees couldn't secure visas in time to travel. Enough of our seats depend on international students that the classes are no longer financially viable to run. To those of you in the U.S. who were still planning to attend: I'm sorry to cancel on you. If the cancellation left you with travel costs, please reach out.

I'm grateful to the instructors who taught with Switchback and to those who had signed on for next year. They're some of the best people working in their fields, and every one of them teaches elsewhere. If you were hoping to catch one of their courses, message me and I'll point you to where they're teaching next.

Thanks to everyone who registered for a training, sent a colleague, or talked me up to their training budget. It was a good thing to build.
