Overview
With the wake of COVID-19, organizations have enabled 
workplace flexibility for their employees by promoting work from 
home culture. Thus, providing hackers an opportunity to exploit 
the vulnerable points and take advantage of the human factor. 
According to Tessian, 45% of respondents mentioned distraction 
as the reason for falling for a phishing scam while working from 
home. In the 2020 Data Breach Investigations Report by Verizon, 
web application attacks have increased twice as compared to 
2019. While we are now comfortable with work from home 
environment, initially, not everyone was prepared; thus, many 
employees were working with personal laptops with inadequate 
security controls. Data flowing through these settings expose the 
entire network to risk. To control these kinds of situations, 
companies are now moving to a segmented network instead of a 
flat network and similar new requirements are arising for 
defending the organization’s network.

With security in mind and the aim of empowering the defenders, 
EC-council has announced CNDv2. Instead of a linear approach, a 
continuous adaptive security cycle is the need of the hour. CNDv2 
provides a comprehensive approach to deal with modern network 
security issues.
Moving from the traditional cybersecurity approach of “protect and 
detect,” CNDv2 moves a step ahead towards “Predict, Protect, 
Detect, Respond.”

Course Objectives for CNDv2
CNDv2 has added and removed domains based on the current 
cybersecurity market analysis and requirement. The new version is 
based on the cybersecurity education framework and work role task 
analysis presented by the National Initiative of Cybersecurity 
Education (NICE). As compared to 14 domains in CNDv1, CNDv2 
consists of 20 domains. The new CNDv2 certification exam validates 
the candidate on all critical aspects of the information and network 
security and helps them gain an in-depth understanding of:

Compared to CNDv1, CNDv2 has almost double the number of labs, 
which gives candidates a chance to get extensive hands-on on 
various tools and clear their concepts about the underlying 
technologies.
The exam format and other aspects such as the eligibility criteria, 
duration of the exam remain the same. However, CNDv2 offers a 
much wider range of topics to provide a better understanding of 
network security in the current cybersecurity environment.
