EC Council Certified Network Defender (v3) Training

The Certified Network Defender (CND) v3 is the world’s first adaptive network security certification,
designed to help professionals build and manage resilient, threat-ready networks.

Developed by EC-Council, this ANSI-accredited and DoD-approved program provides hands-on, tactical skills
to defend enterprise networks in real-world cyber environments.

CND v3 includes 100+ lab-based exercises and aligns with the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) Framework,
mapping directly to job roles such as Network Security Engineer, Analyst, and Cyber Defense Specialist.

The course covers Zero Trust architectures, Cloud Defense (AWS, Azure, GCP), EDR/XDR, IoT Security,
and Cyber Threat Intelligence — ensuring learners are job-ready to meet today’s network defense challenges.

The EC-Council Certified Network Defender (CND) v3 course equips professionals with the essential defensive, analytical,
and incident response skills required to protect modern network environments.

Graduates earn an internationally recognized CND certification, backed by ANSI ISO/IEC 17024 accreditation
and US DoD approval, validating their readiness to defend organizations against advanced cyber threats.
