Certified Network Defender (C|ND)

About this training

Certified Network Defender (CND) is EC-Council's vendor-neutral network security certification, built around a hands-on curriculum aligned with the NICE and NICF cybersecurity workforce frameworks. Training covers network perimeter defense, endpoint security, application security, and data security, with labs reinforcing each area.

The certification exam consists of 100 multiple-choice questions over 4 hours, with a passing score that varies by exam form (roughly 60-78%). CND is aimed at network administrators and defenders responsible for identifying vulnerabilities and mitigating risk in enterprise network environments, and is offered in both on-demand and live delivery formats.
