Course Overview
EC-Council Certified Network Defender (CND) is a crucial vendor-neutral network security accreditation for every IT and systems administrator who needs to operate with a secure mindset. This program uses the term blue-teaming to describe its defense and countermeasure activities, which help organizations prevent attacks while detecting incidents and responding to threats through secure network configuration.
Learners can protect their operational environments and networks spanning endpoints, cloud infrastructure, apps, OT, mobile, and local networks. Additionally, they will learn about essential inquiry and response, network traffic monitoring, business continuity, disaster recovery, and practical correct log analysis. Regarding their administration and defence duties, they will also delve into risks, examine the attack surface, and research threat information and prediction.
This Next-Generation Network Security Training for IT Professionals provides network security training that functions as both a career foundation for cybersecurity roles and blue team positions. CND's network security course distinguishes itself from other networking programs by delivering an extensive education beyond basic networking skills to develop advanced security capabilities. Network defenders receive strategic technological and operational network security abilities from the CND program developed by industry experts, allowing them to create, maintain, and establish protected networks
