Overview
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:
- Only comprehensive network defense program built to incorporate critical secure network skills - Protect, Detect, Respond and Predict
- Maps to NICE 2.0 Framework
- Comes packed with the latest tools, technologies, and techniques
- Deploys a hands-on approach to learning
- Designed with an enhanced focus on Threat Prediction, Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
CND v2 is based on the cybersecurity education framework and work role task analysis presented by the National Infocomm Competency Framework (NICF). The program is also mapped to the Department of Defense (DoD) roles for system/network administrators as well as global work roles and responsibilities laid out by the revised NICE Framework 2.0
Adaptive Security Strategy
CND v2 includes the Adaptive Security Strategy, thereby increasing the scope from Protect – Detect – Respond to Protect – Detect – Respond – Predict.
Increased Lab Time and Hands-On Focus
More than 50% of the CND v2 program is dedicated to practical skills in live ranges via EC-Council labs covering domains like Network Defense Management, Network Perimeter Protection, Endpoint Protection, Application and Data Protection, Enterprise Virtual, Cloud, and Wireless Network Protection, Incident Detection and Response, and Threat Prediction.
A Dedicated Module on IoT Security
IoT security, previously ignored, is now an issue of great concern. IoT devices are not primarily designed with security in mind. This leaves serious vulnerabilities while configuring IoT devices in a network. CND v2 introduces candidates to the various challenges that IoT devices pose and the measures required to mitigate them.
Network Virtualization Practices for the Remote Workforce
Tracking security applications and configurations of remote work environments as workforce span across servers is very difficult. The CND v2 program teaches candidates to implement and manage the security of virtualization technologies Network Virtualization (NV), Software-Defined Network (SDN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV), OS Virtualization, Containers, Dockers, Kubernetes used in modern-day networks.
An Upgrade on Mobile Security Measures
Research firm Gartner predicts that by 2021, 27% of corporate data traffic will bypass perimeter security and flow directly from mobile and portable devices to the cloud. With the CND v2, you will learn Enterprise Mobile Device Security, Redefine Access Control Security, and other platforms to ensure that this endpoint remains secure.
Enhanced Focus on Cloud Security
While the adoption of cloud computing in organizations has increased, so have the challenges. Candidates will learn different ways to ensure security across various cloud platforms - AWS, Microsoft Azure Cloud, and Google Cloud Platform.
An Introduction to Threat Intelligence
Having a proactive approach to security is the new requirement of all organizations. Without threat intelligence, your cybersecurity posture is only reactive. CND v2 helps you take a more effective, proactive approach using threat intelligence.
In−Depth Attack Surface Analysis
The key to cyber risk management is in-depth attack surface analysis. CND v2 trains you to identify what parts of your organization need to be reviewed and tested for security vulnerabilities, and how to reduce, prevent, and mitigate network risks.
Includes the Latest Technology
CND v2 covers the latest technologies such as Software Defined Network (SDN) security, Network Function Virtualization (NFV) security, container security, docker security, and Kubernetes security.

CND v2 is for all cybersecurity operations, roles, and anyone looking to build a career in cybersecurity
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible to challenge the EC-Council CND certification examination, the candidate has two options:
- Attend Official Network Security Training by EC-Council: If a candidate has completed an official EC-Council training either an Accredited Training Center, the candidate is eligible to challenge the relevant EC-Council exam without going through the application process.
Programme scope, delivery arrangements and suitability are confirmed during enquiry.
