Certified Network Defender (CND) (Voucher Included)

Overview

This course prepares for the EC-Council Certified Network Defender (CND) exam. You will gain key skills that network engineers need to protect, detect and respond to the threats on their networks. The CND certification is globally recognized and validates your ability to protect networks and maintain operations during cyber-attacks effectively.

Throughout this CND course, you will delve into various modules that cover essential topics such as network security controls, protocols, and devices. You will learn how to strengthen security infrastructures by effectively implementing intrusion detection and prevention systems and troubleshooting network problems. The course also provides in-depth training on implementing secure virtual private networks (VPNs) for organizations and identifying and mitigating threats to wireless networks.

One of the key highlights of this CND training program is its alignment with global CND responsibilities and Department of Defense (DoD) job roles for system/network administrators. This ensures that the skills and knowledge you acquire are highly relevant and applicable in real-world scenarios. The course follows a vendor-neutral approach, allowing you to understand network security principles and practices comprehensively without being tied to any specific technology or platform.

Upon completing this course, you will receive a voucher covering the certifying exam's cost. This allows you to schedule and take the exam remotely using a proctor function, providing flexibility and convenience in the certification process.
