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

Stoked to start the CyberDefenders CCD program next week! Cheers to always learning! #blueteam #socanalyst #cyberdefenders

Few months of study, practice here, practice there, and then the reward came! Thanks CyberDefenders for the solid learning content, and even more for the knowledge and endurance test that was the exam. I`ll surely recommend #CCD to everyone.

This was one of the best Blue Team courses and certifications I've taken. I highly recommend this. I would hire someone with this certification over one with Security+ or CySA+.

Overall, I’m extremely pleased with the course content delivery, exam experience, and how the CyberDefenders team coaches their students through the “smarter, not harder” mentality. I think this is incredibly beneficial in real-world applications. Finally finished the review of my experience with the course and the exam after passing it a few months ago, so give it a read if you're interested.

Yesterday, we launched the epic first edition of DefendNight at PwC Belgium! 🚀 Our blue team, along with our amazing IAM, AppSec, OffSec, OT operatives—and many more—banded together to fortify our defenses against cyber threats. Utilizing the CyberRange platform from CyberDefenders, we embarked on an fun and insightful mission to hunt down cyber threats across endpoints, networks, and the cloud. 🌐💻 And of course, our operations were fueled by some tactical pizza! 🍕 It was an unforgettable night of cyber co-op and defense excellence. We're already gearing up for the next DefendNight! 🔥🔒 #CyberSecurity #TeamPwC #DefendNight #ThreatHunting #EndpointForensics #NetworkForensics #CloudForensics #BlueTeam #CyberDefenders #SecOps #Pizza Jeroen Hoof Cedric Lambrecht Mike Van Camp Wout De Ceuninck Tûba Kilinç Laurent Lombaerts Andreas M.

Definitely the most challenging exam I've taken to this day. In 48 hours, my skills were tested in Threat Hunting, Disk, Memory, and Network Forensics and also in Perimeter Defense. The labs were challenging and the exam experience was flawless. The best part of the course is that the CyberDefenders team is really trying to teach you how to think and research, so be prepared to take the extra step. Thank you CyberDefenders for this amazing course!

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!

I'm really glad to witness the extraordinary growth of CyberDefenders, the team was putting great efforts into creating high-quality content and labs for our blue teams across the globe and they definitely deserve your support.

One of the highlights of my preparation was engaging with the fantastic labs in the CCD preparation course offered by CyberDefenders. These hands-on labs were instrumental in sharpening my skills and boosting my confidence. Grateful for this learning opportunity and excited to share my insights and experiences in an upcoming review. Stay tuned! Now, looking forward to the next milestones and certifications in my cyber security journey! 🚀 #CertifiedCyberDefender #CCD #CyberSecurity
