Vinay Sharma

SOC Analyst · Atos

I joined WebAsha for Certified Network Defender to level up my skills, and the experience exceeded my expectations. We worked hands-on with ethical hacking, reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation and penetration testing in a safe lab, which made every concept stick. Flexible batch timings let me attend alongside my job without any stress. Doubt-clearing sessions ran even after class hours, which I really appreciated. Easily a five-star experience that prepared me for both the exam and real work.

I recently finished the Certified Network Defender course at WebAsha Technologies and it was worth every minute. Each module built logically, and the coverage of ethical hacking, reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation and penetration testing in a safe lab was thorough and current. I could choose between online and classroom training, and both were equally well organised. The certification preparation and mock tests made the actual exam feel straightforward. The study materials and recorded sessions were detailed and easy to revise from. If you want practical, job-ready skills in Certified Network Defender, WebAsha is the place to be.
