Computer Network Defense
Computer Network Defense ( CND ; German Computer Network Defense ) is a sub-term of Computer Network Operations and comes from the military sector. Computer Network Defense comprises all measures to defend one's own computer networks. Monitoring, defense and analysis are used to successfully defend your own network systems. The penetration test is a way of preventing a computer network attack. The aim of computer network defense is to uncover one's own weak points in computer (networks) at an early stage in order to secure this security gap from an attack. Intercepting and blocking ongoing attacks is also part of the job.
