C|ND is an essential, vendor-neutral certification designed for system and network administrators who need to operate with a security-first mindset. It teaches how to protect networks, endpoints, applications, mobile devices, and cloud infrastructure, as well as how to respond to incidents and analyze threats.

At the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  • • Protect networks and devices against cyber threats
  • • Detect intrusions through traffic monitoring and log analysis
  • • Respond to security incidents using basic forensic procedures
  • • Design network security policies and business continuity plans
  • • Anticipate threats using threat intelligence and attack surface analysis

No prior knowledge is required to participate in this training. It is intended for individuals with:

  • • Basic understanding of networking and system administration (Linux and Windows)
  • • Previous experience in cybersecurity is not mandatory, but it is recommended

Learning Methodology

The learning methodology, regardless of the modality (in-person or remote), is based on the development of workshops or labs that lead to the construction of a project, emulating real activities in a company.

The instructor (live), a professional with extensive experience in work environments related to the topics covered, acts as a workshop leader, guiding students' practice through knowledge transfer processes, applying the concepts of the proposed syllabus to the project.

The methodology seeks that the student does not memorize, but rather understands the concepts and how they are applied in a work environment.

As a result of this work, at the end of the training the student will have gained real experience, will be prepared for work and to pass an interview, a technical test, and/or achieve higher scores on international certification exams.

Conditions to guarantee successful results:
  • a. An institution that requires the application of the model through organization, logistics, and strict control over the activities to be carried out by the participants in each training session.
  • b. An instructor located anywhere in the world, who has the required in-depth knowledge, expertise, experience, and outstanding values, ensuring a very high-level knowledge transfer.
  • c. A committed student, with the space, time, and attention required by the training process, and the willingness to focus on understanding how concepts are applied in a work environment, and not memorizing concepts just to take an exam.
