EC-Council

Founded in 2001, EC-Council emerged in response to the 9/11 attacks with a mission to raise the global standard of cybersecurity knowledge and practice. From its flagship CEH certification to executive-level CCISO and its newest AI security credentials, EC-Council has built the largest library of cybersecurity certifications in the world.

EC-Council certifications are recognized by governments, militaries, and enterprises worldwide. They carry ISO/IEC 17024 and ANAB accreditation, and hold official recognition under the US DoD 8140/8570 Directive, which makes them a mandatory baseline for cybersecurity roles across defense contractors and government agencies.

With training delivered via authorized training centres, live online iWeek sessions, self-paced iLearn, and EC-Council University degree programs, EC-Council provides pathways for every stage of a cybersecurity career, from entry-level CCT and CSCU to advanced penetration testing with CPENT and C-suite leadership with CCISO.
