Introduction
Organisational focus on cyber defence 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 organisations are still being compromised. Therefore, organisations must have, as part of their defence mechanisms, trained network engineers who are focused on protecting, detecting, and responding to the threats on their networks. Network administrators spend a lot of time with network environments, and are familiar with; network components; network traffic; performance and utilization; network topology; location of each system; and security policies etc.
The Certified Network Defender (CND) course is a vendor-neutral, hands-on, instructor-led comprehensive network security certification training program that prepares Network Administrators on network security technologies and operations to attain Defence-in-Depth network security skills. The course contains hands-on labs, based on major network security tools and techniques, maps to NICE 2.0 Framework and is designed with an enhanced focus of Threat Prediction, Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery which will provide Network Administrators real world expertise on current network security technologies and operations.

EC-Council Overview
To beat a hacker, you need to think like one…
Ethical Hacking is the process of proactively penetrating systems, to which one has official permission to do so, with a view to determining whether vulnerabilities exist and then to undertake the necessary preventive, corrective, and protective countermeasures before an actual compromise to the systems can occur.
Torque IT’s authorised EC-Council training, and associated certification, solutions empower you to identify vulnerabilities and to assess the security posture of target systems. EC-Council certifications are universally recognised as demonstrating a high level of expertise and credibility for individuals and the organisations that employ them.
Torque IT being an EC-Council Accredited Training Center (ATC) has been the recipient of EC-Council’s most prestigious ATC of the year awards for 2016, 2014 and EC-Council’s Circle of Excellence Awards for 2015.
These achievements reflect our commitment to providing you with quality skills development, enablement, training, and certification solutions that demonstrate exceptional quality, depth and breadth.
