It is a big step forward towards EC-Council’s commitment in Bringing <b>Workforce Development Training and Certification Programs that Measure Industry Readiness.</b> </p> <p style="text-align:justify;"> In today’s world, hackers are using sophisticated malware techniques to inflict intellectual and financial losses to their target, while organizations depend heavily on information technology to protect their vital information. The ability to harness new technology to bring value to an organization is critical to any organization’s growth matched with the ability to deploy these safely without over burdening the organizations risks posture. </p> <p style="text-align:justify;"> In response to the growing threats, EC-Council has addressed the root of the problem – the lack of cybersecurity professionals skilled in ethical hacking, security analysis, and penetration testing. </p> <p><b>Biggest Leap Since the Original</b></p> <p style="text-align:justify;"> EC-Council raises the bar again for ethical hacking training and certification programs through the <a href="https://www.eccouncil.org/programs/certified-ethical-hacker-ceh/" target="_blank">Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) v10</a> program, which is in compliance with the NICE framework’s Protect and Defend specialty area. In order to meet the rising demands of employers across the world, the program now includes IoT hacking, vulnerability analysis, static and dynamic malware analysis, and emerging attack vectors on cloud, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. </p> <p style="text-align:justify;"> CEH is used as a hiring standard and is a core sought after certification by many organizations, governments, cybersecurity practices, and is a cyber staple in many of the top universities around the globe. </p> <p><b>Exam Sanctity</b></p> <p style="text-align:justify;"> “The biggest issue for CISO’s is the need to differentiate candidates that have the knowledge and candidates that actually have the skills and abilities to do the job. Abilities that represent true technical and security challenges faced at the workplace today and every day. Many Fortune 500 companies developed creative ways to find and hire those that could actually do the job…They spent millions of dollars and countless amount of time and management to achieve that annually. Today, we offer a solution to this problem,” said Jay Bavisi, CEO of EC-Council Group and Chairman of the Board, EC-Council University. </p> <p style="text-align:justify;"> Ethical hackers from around the world will now be able validate their skills in a new exam format launched by EC-Council. </p> <p style="text-align:justify;"> The all-new <a href="https://www.eccouncil.org/programs/certified-ethical-hacker-ceh/" target="_blank">C<span>|</span>EH (Practical) certification exam</a> will be delivered as a secure, remotely-proctored, hands-on, live certification test that can be taken anytime, anywhere. The exam is a six hour practical exam built by subject matter experts in the ethical hacking field, that will test the candidate against 20 real-life scenarios. </p> <p style="text-align:justify;"> The combined benefit of a practical exam, proctored anywhere in the world will allow organizations to quickly train, test, and deploy their cyber-ready workforce. </p> <p><b>A Progression From the Former</b></p> <p style="text-align:justify;"> Continuing where the CEH program left off, is the enhanced <a href="https://www.eccouncil.org/programs/certified-security-analyst-ecsa/" target="_blank">ECSA v10</a> program that includes a new comprehensive step-by-step penetration testing methodology that improves upon the best from ISO 27001, OSSTMM, and NIST Standards. This program is 100% compliant to the new NICE 2.0 framework and CREST framework, bringing real tangible benefits to employers including helping them assess their cybersecurity workforce, identify critical gaps in cybersecurity staffing, help their cyber workforce explore tasks and work roles, and assist with understanding the KSAs that are recognized by employers for in-demand cybersecurity roles. </p> <p style="text-align:justify;"> The program includes a new comprehensive social engineering penetration testing methodology and has increased its focus on methodology for perimeter devices (IDS/Firewall), database, wireless, and cloud penetration testing, using both manual and automated penetration testing approaches, along with many other major improvements. </p> <p><b>Application of Methodology</b></p> <p style="text-align:justify;"> After a successful completion of the ECSA v10 credential, certified members can now attempt the brand-new <a href="https://www.eccouncil.org/programs/ecsa-practical/" target="_blank"> ECSA (Practical) certification exam</a> — a 12 hour practical, fully proctored, live online exam, built on EC-Council’s cyber-range, simulating real-life environments. The exam will test the candidate on their application of penetration testing methodologies to perform a comprehensive security audit of an organization. </p> <p style="text-align:justify;"> The ECSA (Practical) will test your ability to perform threat and exploit research, understand exploits in the wild, write exploits, customize payloads, and make critical decisions at different phases of a penetration testing engagement. The candidate will also be required to create a professional pen testing report with essential elements and guidance for the organization in the scenario to act on. </p> <p style="text-align:justify;"> An ECSA Practical credential will provide the assurance that the candidate possesses the skills required while on the field and will stand as a testimony to their ability to undergo the rigor of the profession. </p> <p><b>100% Practicality into Training Sessions</b></p> <p style="text-align:justify;"> The all-new EC-Council learning track would not be complete without a penetration testing program. </p> <p style="text-align:justify;"> Following the launch of the LPT (Master) program at the Hacker Halted Conference 2017, came a flood of requests for an advanced penetration testing course, in order to help professionals be better prepared for the LPT (Master) test. Since then, EC-Council began working on a course that could resolve the problems faced by cybersecurity professionals and hiring managers, alike, bringing forth EC-Council’s <a href="https://www.eccouncil.org/programs/licensed-penetration-tester-lpt-master/" target="_blank">Advanced Penetration Testing program </a> </p> <p style="text-align:justify;"> The Advanced Penetration Testing Course was created as the next level progression after the ECSA to prepare you for the challenges that the LPT (Master) examination presents. This program is designed to demonstrate the advanced concepts of penetration testing, bringing 100% practicality into the training sessions to provide professional skills that demonstrate how professional pen testers will determine the attack surface of targets within a required time frame to gain access to the machines and escalate privileges. </p> <p style="text-align:justify;"> The course is designed to show the advanced concepts of scanning against defenses, pivoting between networks, deploying proxy chains, and using web shells. The last module of the course includes an SOW for each of the various networks we have created for the course. This, combined with the composition of various ranges, mimics a professional penetration test. </p> <p style="text-align:justify;"> Upon completion of the Advanced Penetration Testing program, candidates will challenge the LPT (Master) exam, the world’s first fully online, remotely-proctored LPT practical exam, that offers a challenge like no other by simulating a complex network of a multinational organization in real time. The candidates will also have to demonstrate an advanced understanding of testing modern infrastructures by completing a professional penetration test report to be evaluated by EC-Council experts for completeness and professionalism. </p> <p> For more information on these courses, visit <a href="https://www.eccouncil.org/" target="_blank"><span class="main-color">www.eccouncil.org</span></a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="tab-pane fade font-16" id="tabCISOCert" style="height:800px;"> <div class="tabs-content"> <h3> <b> EC-Council's C|CISO Program officially accredited by ANSI </b> </h3> <p style="margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"> EC-Council is proud to announce that the Certified CISO Program has officially been accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to meet the ANSI/ISO/IEC 17024 Personnel Certification Accreditation standard for its C|CISO certification! <br /><br /> The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is a private non-profit organization that administers and coordinates the U.S. voluntary standardization and conformity assessment system.

CHFIv9 builds on the outstanding success of previous versions and adds coverage of the latest digital forensics techniques, digital forensics laws and standards updates, as well as immersive lab exercises to help students learn to defeat anti-forensics techniques, conducting database forensics, cloud forensics investigations, and malware forensics. These updates are necessary to keep pace with a rapidly changing industry. The latest operating systems are covered in the new material via 39 updated lab modules intended to challenge students to apply their knowledge and reinforce skills. </p> <p> To ensure this latest version is in line with the real-world requirements of working digital forensic professionals, EC-Council assembled various subject matter experts and professionals from law enforcement, criminal investigation, defense, and highly technical security professionals to contribute to the new content. Developed by a panel of subject matter experts and industry specialists, the updated certification sets the global standards for computer forensics best practices. </p> <p> Cyber forensics is a very important and in-demand subset of the larger information security industry. Digital forensics has evolved over the past 10 years to encompass a variety of critical roles well beyond cyber incidents. Digital forensics has become a key role in many demanding IT departments providing reliable, evidence based validation of enterprise systems. Per the market research report published by IndustryARC, by 2020, the digital forensics market will reach 4.8 billion USD. The major drivers for this growth are the increase in threats from cybercrime and terrorist attacks. Only 22% of companies are even fully prepared to deal with cybersecurity incidents and forensics plays a huge role in incident response. </p> <p> "With this growth, the industry is struggling to find quality digital forensics recourses, creating a rise in demand within the already underserved job markets. As a result, there is a market need for a certification based on a single, universal body of knowledge," said EC-Council President, Jay Bavisi. </p> <p> The CHFIv9 training program enables information security professionals to meet the challenges of digital forensics as well as potentially add a specialty to their skillset that could bolster their careers tremendously. Foote Partners, which tracks information technology jobs across all skill levels, projects the global demand for cybersecurity talent to rise to six million positions by 2019 with an expected shortfall of 1.5 million professionals. </p> <p> Professionals with CHFIv9 on their resumes will be well-suited to meet this demand not only because they have demonstrated their mastery of the subject matter by passing the certification exam, but because of the hours of work requiring hands-on, real world application of the skills in the lab environment created to accompany the course. The labs are an immersive environment where students practice applying their skills and reinforcing their learning. The labs also help students adapt very quickly to unfamiliar environments as they learn digital forensics skills not just in theory, but in practice. </p> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <div class="tab-pane fade font-16" id="tabCertifiedNetworkDefenseArchitectprogram" style="min-height: 800px;"> <table> <tr style="margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <td> <h3><b>Invitation to apply for the celebrated Certified Network Defense Architect program</b></h3> <p> Maintaining the integrity and authenticity of the network in an organisation is critical to the organisation's health.

Studies point out that, professionals handling the Organisation's networks are not amply equipped to protect their networks from evolving cyber threats like Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), sophisticated botnet C&C, Insiders to mention a few. Cyber criminals see this as an opportunity to hack the system compromising on important information. The R&D teams at EC-Council have extensively conducted technology surveys, community engagements, market analysis and SME consultations to develop the CND skillset that will enable networking professionals to protect, detect and respond to cybersecurity threats.</p> <p>A thorough job task analysis along with research, market analysis, surveys, community engagement activities, consultation and advice from Subject Matter Experts, has ensured that the CND design is based on cybersecurity frameworks such as NICE and is in sync with the current markets trends. CND is designed in a manner that it imparts the necessary skillset to the Network Administrator on the nuances of Network Security whether it is designing the Organisation's network security controls, firewall systems, IDS/IPS systems, policies and procedures, DLP and etc. It also ensures that the personnel handling the network can detect network security breaches at an early stage, and also respond to the same. A deeper analysis of the situation brings to the fore, the larger goals of the organisation being met. Ensuring that information, the key component of the organisation is safe will ensure business continuity, better ROIs on security investment and lesser impact on incidents on Information System Resources. What makes CND different from the other programmes is that CND covers network defence from a Defence perspective going beyond the traditional security solutions and appliances. Also, the CND programme includes operational security aspects such as designing and deploying security policies, network monitoring, vulnerability management, incident handling and response and etc.</p> <p>EC-Council recommends that companies facing a shortage of qualified security practitioners or companies that cannot afford to hire specialized information security professionals consider adding information security duties to their existing system and network administrator job roles. The fastest way to accomplish this would be to send their employees to the only program on the market designed to teach network and system administrator information security skills: CND.</p> <p>For further information, please visit <a href="https://www.eccouncil.org/programs/certified-network-defender-cnd/" target="_blank"><span class="main-color">https://www.eccouncil.org/programs/certified-network-defender-cnd/</span></a></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <div class="tab-pane fade font-16" id="tabECCouncilMembershipNotification" style="height:auto;"> <table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"> <tr> <td align="center"> <div style="margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"> <p style="margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"> Dear Certified Members and Partners, <br /> <br /> Please be advised, effective January 1, 2016, EC-Council will be initiating the requirement for Membership fees for all certified members holding EC-Council certifications.
