What is an Ethical Hacker?

Nowadays Security has become the ultimate need of every organization since businesses started relying on  IT resources to process and exchange information. Either we are individual or we are running a business, we are under security threat consistently. Computer systems are vulnerable and open for any hacker to attack. There are so many malicious and dangerous attacks that are invented, which common person or organization will know without the help of an expert who can test our systems and network and find the loopholes (vulnerabilities or exploits) in our system so that we can take actions before someone exploits it. This requirement of every organization has increased the need for Ethical hackers and Penetration Tester.

 

Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) is a professional who can find Vulnerabilities and loopholes in systems and networks so that they can be mitigated before someone exploits them. This requires knowledge of various attacks, how can they be launched, what harm can they do to system or network.

 

CEH Training increase the technical knowledge of delegates and develop skills to think like a hacker perspective and protection mechanism. In this course, delegates will learn to protect the system and apply methodologies that they have to learn in training and secure company infrastructure and data.

 

The Certified Ethical Hacker training courses are accredited by the EC-Council leading certification body for cybersecurity.

A Certified Ethical Hacker is a skilled professional who understands and knows how to look for weaknesses and vulnerabilities in target systems and uses the same knowledge and tools as a malicious hacker, but in a lawful and legitimate manner to assess the security posture of a target system. The CEH credential certifies individuals in the specific network security discipline of Ethical Hacking from a vendor-neutral perspective.

 

The purpose of the CEH credential is to:

 

• Establish and govern minimum standards for credentialing professional information security specialists in ethical hacking measures.

• Inform the public that credentialed individuals meet or exceed the minimum standards.

• Reinforce ethical hacking as a unique and self-regulating profession.
