- 5. CERTIFIED NETWORK DEFENDER The Ultimate Certification for Network AdministratorsEC-Council Organizational focus on cyber defense is more important than ever as cyber breaches have a far greater financial impact and can cause broad reputational damage. Despite best efforts to prevent breaches, many organizations are still being compromised. Therefore organizations must have, as part of their defense mechanisms, trained network engineers who are focused on protecting, detecting, and responding to the threats on their networks. Network administrators spends a lot of time with network environments, and are familiar with network components, traffic, performance and utilization, network topology, location of each system, security policy, etc. So, organizations can be much better in defending themselves from vicious attacks if the IT and network administrators equipped with adequate network security skills .Thus Network administrator can play a significant role in network defense and become first line of defense for any organizations. Why Certified Network Defender? “While there will be over 1.5 million cyber security jobs that remain unfilled by 2019, millions of IT and Networkadministratorsremainuntrainedonnetwork defense techniques” - Michael Brown, CEO at Symantec, the world’s largest security software vendor.
- 6. CERTIFIED NETWORK DEFENDER The Ultimate Certification for Network AdministratorsEC-Council There is no proper tactical network security training that is made available for network administrators which provides them core network security skills. Students enrolled in the Certified Network Defender course, will gain a detailed understanding and hands on ability to function in real life situations involving network defense. They will gain the technical depth required to actively design a secure network in your organization.Thisprogramwillbeakintolearningmath instead of just using a calculator. This course gives you the fundamental understanding of the true construct of data transfer, network technologies, software technologies so that you understand how networks operate, understand what software is automating and how to analyze the subject material. You will learn how to protect, detect and respond to the network attacks. You will learn network defense fundamentals, the application of network security controls, protocols, perimeter appliances, secure IDS, VPN and firewall configuration. You will then learn the intricacies of network traffic signature, analysis and vulnerability scanning which will help you when you design greater network security policies and successful incident response plans. These skills will help you foster resiliency and continuity of operations during attacks. “Cyber Security is commonly the first thing on the minds of CIO but is, in many cases, an after thought for the IT department” - Jay Bavisi President, EC-Council
