Certified Network Defender (CND) (Voucher Included)

  • 6 Months
  • 100 Course Hours
  • $2,895

Overview

To mitigate cyber breaches, many organizations rely on network engineers who protect, detect and respond to the threats on their networks. This online course will prepare you for the Certified Network Defender (CND) exam, a credential that validates your ability to provide continuity of operations during attacks.

The course is ideal for network administrators looking to attain Defense-in-Depth network security preparedness. As a vendor-neutral certification training program, you will work through skills-based, lab-intensive modules based on a job-task analysis and cybersecurity education framework presented by the National Initiative of Cybersecurity Education (NICE). You will also gain skills mapped to global CND responsibilities as well as the Department of Defense (DoD) job roles for system/network administrators.

The course also includes a voucher with enrollment, which covers the fee of the certifying exam upon eligibility. Scheduling and testing will be available through a remote proctor function.

What you will learn

  • Understand fundamental networking concepts, analyze networking protocols and implement established standards to design a robust networking infrastructure
  • Assess potential vulnerabilities and threats to network infrastructure, predict the implication of network security breaches and analyze the available countermeasures
  • Examine different network security mechanisms, analyze available security controls and develop strategies to implement and configure these controls
  • Understand the role of network security policies, and develop comprehensive policies that help in protecting network infrastructure
  • Understand the working of various networking devices, and develop strategies for secure configuration of these devices

How you will benefit

  • Exam Eligibility for Certified Network Defender (CND) Exam Number 312-38 with example CND questions
  • Obtain the technical depth required to actively design a secure network
  • Understand how networks operate, what software is automating and how to analyze the subject material
  • Gain the ability to design greater network security policies and successful incident response plans
  • Learn skills that foster resiliency and continuity of operations during attacks
  • Become a Certified Network Defender (CND)
