Develop practical network defence skills

The EC-Council Certified Network Defender (CND) course takes a defensive approach to cybersecurity and focuses on the skills needed to protect networks before, during and after a security incident.

Participants will explore the full network defence lifecycle through the principles of Protect, Detect, Respond and Predict. This helps them understand not only how security controls can be implemented, but also how network activity can be monitored and how organisations can respond when suspicious behaviour or a security incident is identified.

Who is CND suitable for?

The course is particularly relevant to network administrators, network engineers, security analysts, cybersecurity engineers and other professionals responsible for maintaining secure IT infrastructure.

The hands-on nature of the programme provides exposure to practical network security tools and techniques across areas such as endpoints, cloud environments, wireless networks, monitoring, incident response and business continuity.

It also prepares participants for the EC-Council Certified Network Defender certification examination.
