Protect, Detect, Respond, and Predict with Certified Network Defender CND

Protect, Detect, Respond, and Predict your Cyber Security landscape with Certified Network Defender CND

The only true blue team network defense program! Cybersecurity now dominates the priorities of every enterprise striving to adapt to a post-COVID world. Forced to go remote, their workers’ identities and devices are the new security perimeter. In fact, cybersecurity for business is now as critical as internet access itself.

Studies and news reports had demonstrated that cyber attackers are quick to attack the new, unprotected threat surfaces created when millions of employees started working from home. Providing network security to such an unprecedented, distributed ecosystem in this post-pandemic world is every Network Defense Team’s acid test.

The Certified Network Defender v2 program has been upgraded and loaded with battle-ready ammunition to help Blue Teams defend and win the war against network breaches.

Individuals and corporations looking to strengthen their Network Defense Skills will find CND v2 a must-have for 5 reasons:

1. Only comprehensive network defense program built to incorporate critical secure network skills – Protect, Detect, Respond and Predict
2. Maps to NICE 2.0 Framework
3. Comes packed with the latest tools, technologies, and techniques
4. Deploys a hands-on approach to learning
5. Designed with an enhanced focus on Threat Prediction, Business Continuity, and Disaster Recovery

An Adaptive Security Strategy – Protect, Detect, Respond, and Predict

Cybersecurity is a continuous, non-linear process. Therefore, your approach to mitigating cyber risks cannot be static. This is particularly important when the new “normal” has millions of employees working from remote locations on fragile, home-based WiFi networks and non sanitized personal devices.

According to Gartner, traditional “prevent and detect” approaches are inadequate. Opportunistic by nature, malicious actors look for the easiest ways to attack the most users and siphon off the maximum gains. Developing a continuous Adaptive Security Cycle helps organizations stay ahead of cybercriminals by creating and improving security systems. Enter CND v2
