Tampa, Florida Jan 10, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - EC-Council, the leading global information security certification body, has recently launched Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Master credential to address the rising demand for performance-based training and certification for ethical hackers.
The data breach of Capital One not just ranks as one of the biggest in breaches in the U.S. in 2019, it also ranks the biggest in history among financial data compromising. The breach infiltrated the cloud servers of a third party contracted by Capital One, affecting about 100 million consumers in the United States, and more than 6 million in Canada. CNN Business reported that the breach resulted in a loss of $100 million to $150 million. Due to potential data available in the financial sector, it always tops the list of hackers. This is where Ethical Hackers services can help.
“We are committed to using innovative and new approaches to train cyber experts to prevent cybercrimes and to promote a safer and secure cyber environment. According to Cybersecurity Ventures prediction, there will be 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity jobs globally by 2021. Over the eight-year period tracked, the number of unfilled cyber-security jobs is expected to grow by 350 percent, from one million positions in 2013 to 3.5 million in 2021 (Source – Cybersecurity Ventures Forecast). The Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Master uses a new methodology to prepare the students for real-world jobs. It will go a long way in sharpening the skills of the students who will be better prepared to address the challenge of preventing cybercrime,” says Mr. Jay Bavisi, Founder and CEO of EC-Council Group.
This new initiative is in keeping with EC Council’s commitment to align the curriculum with the demand of the industry. It is for this reason that CEH has emerged as a certification of choice in over 145 countries since 2003. With the launch of the CEH Master, EC Council continue to set standards in the ethical hacking certification and training sector.
CEH Master credential is awarded to hackers that have both the CEH and the CEH (Practical) certification. It prepares the candidate for actual challenges by evaluating their capability against problems from the real-world. This unique approach is a departure from the regular both the multiple-choice exams and simulation-based exams and allows the candidates to hone his/her skills and abilities by working on actual real-world challenges.
With the next exam, security professionals are required to demonstrate the understanding of attack vectors by performing network scanning to identify live and vulnerable machines in a network, performing operating system banner grabbing, system hacking, steganography, steganalysis attacks, enumeration, and even cover tracks. They must also conduct a variety of web server and web application attacks including directory traversal, parameter tampering, XSS, perform SQL injection attacks and different types of cryptography attacks as part of a rigorous 6 hour online and proctored exam. This is truly revolutionary.
CEH Master is a badge of honour for any ethical hacker who wants to make a mark in this challenging field. To become a CEH Master, a candidate must successfully pass the CEH exam and demonstrate competency in managing real-world hacking challenges via the CEH (Practical) Exam. This demands the prospective ethical hacker to discover and exploit real-time vulnerabilities while auditing the systems set up by EC-Council in the cloud, thus enhancing the challenge and better preparing him/her for the job.
