Proactive Network Defense

3 Days | Face to Face

Develop an understanding of the offensive mindset whilst attacking a lifelike network on our PND course.

The Internet perimeters and internal networks of organizations have become the stage of a constant arms race between diverse, ever-evolving threats, and the defenders trying to push them out. In order to win, organizations need to think with an offensive mindset and understand which tactical and strategic initiatives are most effective at beating attacks.

This course uses step-by-step tutorials and practical exercises to give participants a tangible and thorough understanding of the modern offensive mindset and its capabilities. It also equips you with the techniques that will help you defend your network against attacks of all sophistication levels, including Advanced Persistent Threats.

Practical, exercise-driven, and business-focused
Written and delivered by our consultants – experienced cyber security professionals, responsible for network penetration tests, daily
Focused on the offensive techniques and capabilities of modern attackers, and how to defend against them
Free reign to attack a realistic, simulated network, teaching you core principles that can’t be achieved with a defensive mindset alone
Teaches how to implement robust cyber security measures to suit your organization, way beyond the basics

Who should attend?

This is a technical course aimed mainly at those responsible for deploying and managing network infrastructure, but could be equally as helpful for individuals seeking to understand how cyber security affects their department. Prior cyber security experience isn’t needed, as we cover the basics on the way to advanced topics.

However, you should know:

Unix and Windows basics, such as setting an IP address, installing software, copying, moving, deleting, and reading files
Network fundamentals, such as the difference between TCP and UDP, the format of an IP address, and subnetting/CIDR notation
Common protocols such as ICMP, HTTP, DNS and SNMP

Course highlights

See how modern attackers bypass current perimeter security controls and break into an internal network – by doing it yourself
Gain full control of a fully-patched Windows 2012 domain
Explore the security weaknesses found in the common forms of Unix (Solaris, RedHat, Debian, etc)
Learn how to build and maintain a secure network that can withstand targeted attacks
