I feel extremely happy and proud to share that I have successfully completed #CertifiedCyberDefender certification. This is an intermediate-to-advanced level course/cert from CyberDefenders, I can say that this is some high quality content that I have seen/studied in recent times. Labs are the meat of this course, sometimes, I had to spend several hours just to answer a single question in these labs. Speaking about the brutal 48 hours exam, it covers almost all major domains in CyberDefense. Exam grading process was unique wherein the students should not only provide the answer but also the approach that they have taken to reach that answer. Overall, I am happy that I have taken this course and proud that I have completed this certification exam, cannot wait to touch the shiny physical gold coin which I would be receiving as a token of achievement. #ccd #DefendSmarterNotHarder #cyberdefense #goldcoin #achievement #learningandgrowing

That was a tough one. Managed to score more than 90% to receive that gold coin. Overall, I consider this to be one of the best Blue Team cert you can get

I decided to embark in the CCD (Certified CyberDefender) certification journey. Here we have 4 months to learn a solid content about the main topics that a defender guy 🛡️need to master : ✔️SecOps Fundamentals ✔️Perimeter Defense ✔️Threat Hunting ✔️Evidence Collection ✔️Disk Forensics ✔️Memory Forensics ✔️Network Forensics ✔️Incident Response ❌Malware Analysis (recently introduced, so it wasn't part of my exam) Afterwards this learning phase, it's time to get our hands dirty and jump into a 48h exam where we are going to validate whether we really LEARNED 📝everything that was proposed with extremely realistic scenarios that will make you melt your brain to find the right answer/evidence.🤯 Sooo, after a weekend (starting on Friday 09am and ending on Sunday 09am - and yes, I spent even my last minute⌛to tweak a bit one of the questions) in this insane vibe + 10 business day waiting for the grading phase (anxiety? It's over 9000!), I can finally celebrate🕺🎉🍾! Now I am a guy who defend smarter, not harder! I am a CyberDefenders Certified 🕵️‍♂️🧠!

CyberDefenders keeps coming out with some #quality #labs. This most recent one covers #cloudforensics #hunting in #Azure with Elastic. Really great for anyone wanting to gain some #exposure to Azure #logdata. I hope everyone has a great Monday! :D https://lnkd.in/enYiPhSs

Phew! This was a challenging one but I made it through. Major props to the CyberDefenders team for their work on this. Achieving this credential is no easy feat. Review and exam experience videos are underway, per usual. Keep an eye out! #cybersecurity #CyberDefenders #CCD #CertifiedCyberDefenders

🔒My first impressions on the Certified CyberDefender - a new practical Blue Team Certification from CyberDefenders aimed towards SOC Analysts. Everything from the syllabus, labs and even potential competition. All in todays video. #cybersecurity #socanalyst #incidentresponse #digitalforensics #detectionandresponse

Got my CyberDefenders coin for passing the #CCD!

I chose this course for a reason. In mid-July, I wanted to dive into this course and take the exam because I was deeply impressed by the complexity and thoughtfulness of the challenges on the CyberDefenders platform. Pursuing this goal, I enrolled in this course, and I have no regrets at all. The course itself is well-designed and offers a range of modules covering various aspects of cybersecurity. The lab tasks are exceptional. Despite my experience as a SOC L1 and L2 analyst, I often found myself spending 8-9 hours on a single lab assignment. There was even one time when it took me a week to find the right answer to a single question!

🎉 Achievement Unlocked: Certified CyberDefender (CCD) 🚀 I am thrilled to announce that I have successfully passed the Certified CyberDefender (CCD) exam! 🏆 This practical exam was no small feat, requiring me to demonstrate my skills within a 48-hour timeframe. Despite the limited practice time, I proudly nailed it on my very first attempt! I owe a huge debt of gratitude to the incredible CyberDefenders team. Their course content is nothing short of excellent, aligning seamlessly with real-world applications. The exams were not just educational but enjoyable and challenging. What truly sets them apart is their ability to craft practical exams that comprehensively cover all essential topics. It's nothing short of outstanding! I can't wait to put my CCD certification to good use and continue my journey in the world of cybersecurity. 🛡️💼 #CCDCertified #CyberDefender #CybersecurityJourney #AchievementUnlocked #DFIR #SOCAnalyst #ThreatHunting #DiskForensics #NetworkForensisc #MemoryForensics Thank you all for your support and encouragement on this remarkable journey!

A really great addition (SWAG) to 𝑪𝑪𝑫 𝑪𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 from CyberDefenders. I was waiting to publish this one - the whole set should include bag, cup and stickers - but the (German) DHL failed to deliver the stickers (sent back without notification). Now I'm waiting for the CCD challenge 𝐂𝐎𝐈𝐍 and more labs/challenges on the platform... and maybe next level certifications! 😎

{sigh} So I passed my 48-hour Certified CyberDefender Certification. Been going rough these past 6 months, and I'm super happy to achieve it. This cert is difficult on another level. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it. Thanks, CyberDefenders team. Your content is top notch!! ❤️

Woohoo! 8 hours and 35 minutes; I have finally completed the Disk Forensics Lab. I am extremely impressed with CyberDefenders' Certified CyberDefender Blue Team Training. The training content is extensive, and the labs are no joke. I highly recommend for anyone looking to get into Cybersecurity. CyberDefenders

Check out my review of the Certified CyberDefender (CCD) course and exam by CyberDefenders. Overall, it was a genuinely fun experience, and I learned a lot about digital forensics, incident response, and threat hunting. After the course I was able to apply a lot of what I had learned on the forensics topics directly to my job. Thanks to Muhammad Alharmeel and Ahmed Shawky for creating this awesome course and exam experience! Looking forward to seeing the CCD start gaining some traction in the job market! As a practical, hands-on exam, passing the CCD means you actually have used tools like Nessus, Sentinel, Elastic, Volatility, and actively performed Incident Response and investigations on forensic artifacts. #cyberdefenders #blueteam #certified

Happy to share that I'm now #ccd certified:) For anyone looking for a well-structured, intermediate level blue team course with practical exam, it's one of the best out there. #DefendSmarterNotHarder #cyberdefenders
