Certified Network Defender (CND) Complete Training Course
The Certified Network Defender (CND) is a network security certification, supplier-neutral, practice-oriented and instructor-led training program. It is an intensive skills-based programme, including laboratory work, based on the safety education framework and the analysis of tasks related to the professional roles presented by the National Infocomm Competitiveness Framework (NICF), as well as an analysis of professional tasks and an educational framework in cybersecurity National Initiative of Cybersecurity Education (NICE). The course is also aligned with global professional roles as well as the professional roles of the Department of Defence (DoD) for system/network administrators.
The programme prepares network administrators to identify parts of an organisation that need to be examined and tested for security vulnerabilities, and how to reduce, prevent and mitigate risks within the network. The NDC covers approaches to network security protection, detection, response and prediction.

Success score
In order to maintain the high integrity of our certification examinations, the EC-Council examinations are offered in several forms (i.e. different question banks). Each version is carefully analyzed by beta tests with an appropriate sample group under the supervision of a committee of experts on the subject, which ensures that each of our exams has not only academic rigour but also applicability to the real world. We also have a process to determine the level of difficulty of each issue. This individual evaluation then contributes to an overall "cut-off score" for each exam version. To ensure that each version meets the same evaluation standards, the cut-off scores are set according to each form of examination. Depending on the version of the exam, cut-off scores may vary between 60% and 78%.
