CH-CND Certified Network Defender

Introduction

The Certified Network Defender (CND) certification program focuses on creating Network Administrators who are trained on protecting, detecting and responding to the threats on the network. These skills will help the Network Administrators foster resiliency and continuity of operations during attacks. Organizational focus on cyber defence is more important than ever as cyber breaches have a far greater financial impact and can cause broad reputational damage. Despite best efforts to prevent breaches, many organizations are still being compromised. Therefore organizations must have, as part of their defence mechanisms, trained network engineers who are focused on protecting, detecting, and responding to the threats on their networks. Network administrators spend a lot of time with network environments, and are familiar with; network components; network traffic; performance and utilization; network topology; location of each system; and security policies etc. The Certified Network Defender (CND) course is a vendor-neutral, hands-on, instructor-led comprehensive network security certification training program that prepares Network Administrators on network security technologies and operations to attain Defence-in-Depth network security skills. The course contains hands-on labs, based on major network security tools and techniques which will provide Network Administrators real world expertise on current network security technologies and operations.
