Certified Network Defender
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.
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.
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.

Approved Trainer
Vladimír Ráb
For twenty years he worked where IT really breaks: he administered thousands of servers, designed networks for T-Mobile, built branch infrastructure from Ukraine to India and managed the migration of 60,000 computers for Société Générale. DHL contracted him into its security teams three times. He therefore knows the attacker not from slides but from his own incidents: he knows which doors lead into a company because he guarded them for years.
What is his course like?
As a Certified EC-Council Instructor (CEI) he teaches ethical hacking and cyber defence courses by the official EC-Council methodology, but he does not read them out. He demonstrates every phase of an attack live, from reconnaissance through gaining access to covering tracks, and immediately adds the defence: what the administrator will see in the log, which control stops the attack and why most companies do not have it. His Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), Certified Network Defender (CND), EC-Council Incident Handler (ECIH) and CCISO certifications let him cover the whole cycle: attack, defence, incident response and the management view.
His trademark is practical demonstrations built on a simple principle: maximum effect with minimum resources. No theatre with million-dollar labs, but procedures a participant can repeat in their own environment the very next day. On top of that, three things an online course cannot offer: teaching in Czech, groups of 7 to 12 people and dialogue. You can ask about situations from your own company and get an answer from someone who has most likely dealt with a similar one.
