FAQs

What is the CND exam like? What is the cost?

The EC-Council Certified Network Defender (CND) exam is designed to test the skills and knowledge of professionals responsible for protecting, detecting, and responding to network security threats. It focuses on real-world Network Defense strategies, practical defense techniques, and the ability to manage network security infrastructure.

This complex exam consists of 100 multiple-choice scenario-based questions to be answered in 4 hours. The questions test both theoretical knowledge and practical application of Network Defense. The CND exam is considered intermediate in terms of difficulty, less difficult than the CEH, but requires a solid understanding of the exam topics and careful preparation.

At Firebrand, the CND exam cost is included in the course fee; in addition, delegates also enjoy the Certification Guarantee: if they don't pass the exam the first time, they can take the course again for free within a year of their first one, only paying for accommodation, the exam, and incidental costs.
