CERTIFIED NETWORK DEFENDER TRAINING

ttacks on networks and systems are constantly evolving, and new methods are developed with alarming regularity. Attackers develop and learn new and effective methods to evade traditional signature-based solutions such as firewalls. An effective method of combatting such attacks is required, and this often requires the “defender” to know how the “attacker” operates and the vulnerabilities they may attempt to take advantage of.

Developed to complement the existing Certified Ethical Hacker qualification, the Certified Network Defender programme is a vendor-neutral, hands-on, instructor-led comprehensive network security certification training program. It is a skills-based, lab intensive program based on a job-task analysis and cybersecurity education framework presented by the National Initiative of Cybersecurity Education (NICE). The course has also been mapped to global job roles and responsibilities and the US Department of Defense (DoD) job roles for system/network administrators. The course is designed and developed after extensive market research and surveys.

Designed in collaboration with industry, and the requirements of commercial and state organisations to meet the challenges posed in the rapidly evolving threat landscape, the C|ND certification is the perfect starting point for a variety of jobs role holders. The C|ND certification can be supplemented by the C|EH (Certified Ethical Hacker) programme.
