EC Council, the world’s leading provider of information security certifications and training, announced the release of five core programs and certifications that make up an all-new learning track. These programs and their ensuing qualifications will prepare capable, quality cyber-manpower with verified skills that are in demand by the global workforce. It is a big step towards EC-Council’s commitment to bringing workforce development training and certification programs that measure job readiness. Biggest Leap Since the Original EC-Council raises the bar again for ethical hacking training and certification programs through the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) v10 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. Exam Sanctity “The biggest issue for CISOs 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 and they spend millions of dollars and countless amount of time and management to achieve that. Today, we offer a solution to this problem,” said Jay Bavisi, CEO of EC-Council Group and Chairman of the Board, EC-Council University. Ethical hackers from around the world will now be able validate their skills in a new exam format launched by EC-Council. The all-new CEH (Practical) certification exam 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. 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. A Progression From the Former Continuing where the CEH program left off is the enhanced ECSA v10 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 with the new NICE 2.0 and CREST frameworks, bringing real tangible benefits to employers. 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. Application of Methodology After a successful completion of the ECSA v10 credential, certified members can now attempt the brand-new ECSA (Practical) certification exam— 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. The ECSA (Practical) will test your ability to perform threat and exploit research, understand exploits in the wild, write exploits, and much more. 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. 100% Practicality into Training Sessions The all-new EC-Council learning track would not be complete without a penetration testing program. 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. 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 Advanced Penetration Testing program. The Advanced Penetration Testing Course 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. 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.

Vincennes University’s plan to reduce the risk of cyber-threats to Hoosiers and help strengthen the mission of the Indiana Information Sharing and Analysis Center (IN-ISAC) will soon become a reality after they selected EC-Council, a world leader in cyber security training and certification to accomplish this mission. Certified Secure Computer User (CSCU), an end-user security course by EC-Council, will be introduced to secondary-education levels in Indiana via high school students enrolled in VU’s dual credit programs, Project Excel and Early College. In the Fall of 2018, Vincennes University will include the CSCU certification course within Introduction to Computer Concepts (COMP110), a 3-credit-hour course within the Core Transfer Library (CTL) for the state of Indiana. VU is gearing up for this by certifying faculty in CSCU at 12 surrounding high schools in the state of Indiana. VU has also recently launched EC-Council’s globally recognized Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification in their Bachelor’s in Technology degree program, which has a concentration in Information Technology, and their Bachelor’s in Homeland Security degree, which has a concentration in Cybersecurity and Information Technology. Leading these initiatives is Jaci Lee Lederman, a Certified EC-Council Instructor and chair of the Department of Information Technology at VU, and Wesley Alvarez, Director of Academics for the U.S. Academic Division at EC-Council. “Providing high school students access to the CSCU course and certification will expedite the cyber-secure education needed by our future workforce. Cyber-secure work habits can start in high school. After piloting the CSCU course on the VU campus, I see merit in experienced IT students and professionals taking the course. The course is a resource that can help IT students and professionals alike understand what everyday computer users need to know. In the effort to configure the next best system to thwart cybercrime, organizations might overlook educating end users about secure computing,” says Lederman. The purpose of the CSCU course and certification to this three-hundred-year-old organization is to provide individuals with the necessary knowledge and skills to protect their information assets. The skills learned from this course includes identity theft, fraud, phishing scams, virus and backdoors, email hoaxes, online sex offenders, hacking attacks, and social engineering. This will help students take the necessary steps to mitigate their security exposure. After the course, students will also be eligible to attempt the CSCU certification exam and achieve an industry-recognized certification before they graduate high school. “This course highlights the actions we take unknowingly every day on our computer that could put us at risk of losing data as a result of a cyber-attack. As an IT professional, I understand that protecting an organization’s infrastructure is the top priority of any Information Technology department. However, setting up systems to protect an organization’s digital assets is only one part of the effort. The human factor should not be ignored. The everyday computer user must be educated on cybersecurity so that he or she can contribute to the organization’s security efforts,” Lederman said. About Vincennes University VU offers a baccalaureate degree in Technology, including a concentration in Information Technology and in Homeland Security, which comprises a concentration in Cybersecurity and Information Technology. Associate degrees include Information Technology, IT Support and Cyber Security, Computer Programming, Web Design, and Game Development, as well as Law Enforcement, Conservation Law, and Legal Studies.

Summary: Vijfhart IT Opleidingen and EC-Council join hands to provide world-class Cybersecurity training to aspiring and current cybersecurity professionals in the Netherlands With the shortage of Cybersecurity professionals rapidly rising across the globe, EC-Council partenered with Vijfhart IT Opleidingen, one of the Top 5 IT educators in the Netherlands to provide world-class training to aspiring and current cybersecurity professionals— in an online self-paced format, to cater to the busy schedules of these IT professionals. While the need for certified and skilled Cybersecurity professionals is increasing, on the other hand, IT professionals find it difficult to commit disciplined time in a day owing to their pressurizing billable hours at their existing jobs. Vijfhart IT Opleidingen believes that the iLearn stream of learning (EC-Council’s renowned online self-paced training format), combined with practical workshops will be the ultimate solution to this problem. Says Bastiaan Janssen, CEO of Vijfhart IT Opleidingen, “Because of the digital transformation, every company today has become an IT company and with the fast rise of cybersecurity threats, every IT company of today has to be ready for the problems it may face tomorrow. This necessitates that organizations need to put more time and energy into cybersecurity knowledge. Especially because there is already a huge knowledge shortage in the IT and cybersecurity domain.’ Traditionally, Vijfhart IT Opleidingen offers training at various locations in Nieuwegein and Zwolle and with partners. In recent years, the company has invested in offering blended learning— a combination of classroom and digital teaching. In this phenomenal partnership with EC-Council, Vijfhart IT Opleidingen has gone one step ahead to provide entirely online self-paced learning solutions for their students of cybersecurity education. The biggest IT companies in The Netherlands are now focussing more on security, both internally and as a service. This cooperation between EC-Council and Vijfhart is opportune and is a new and exciting step towards an essential broadening of the courses available in The Netherlands. EC-Council’s iLearn format plays an essential role here because of its self-paced format. This format implies that once an eligible user signs-up for a course, he/she has 1 year to complete the course contents and take the necessary examination to secure their certification. The beauty here is that they can manage their time at their own convenience and draft their own strategy to make optimal use of their courseware. In the iLearn package, a user is also provided with iLabs, online simulation that accustoms a user to what a real world cyberattack may look like to prepare them against all odds. Thereby making their learning as practical as possible. Ever since its inception in 2001, EC-Council has single-mindedly focussed on delivering quality courseware to its students and the fact that EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker is one of the most sought-after courses in the world for kickstarting a career in Cybersecurity is evidence enough of that. They have always endeavoured to be present and ready whenever any organization, military, civilian government body or a Country feels the need to upgrade their cybersecurity skills. The Cybersecurity Assessment Netherlands 2017, stated that “The sense of urgency to invest in cybersecurity is growing in the Dutch society. Nevertheless, we must continue to invest in knowledge and expertise to stay at the top level. That’s why we talk to businesses, education, and representatives from critical infrastructures. We need to work together to keep the Netherlands digitally safe and secure. This cybersecurity assessment confirms that everybody’s cooperation is needed to keep the fast digitizing world safe and secure. Companies, for example, by reserving funds to keep their networks safe and Dutch citizens by purchasing digital secure items.” While the sentiments from Vijfhart can be described as nothing less than excited and optimistic, with the senior management at EC-Council sharing the same enthusiasm. “We’re glad that Vijfhart IT Opleidingen is now authorized to offer globally renowned EC-Council certification courses. We see incredible potential in our partnership, especially with the 35-year-old strong presence that Vijfhart demonstrates in The Netherlands. As organizations, we both believe in spreading education, attaining growth, and caring for our fellow men. With these shared values firmly grounded in our systems, we foresee a host of cybersecurity professionals in the Netherlands, protecting their organizations, the government, and the citizens of this great Nation”, says Jay Bavisi, CEO, EC-Council Group and Chairman of the Board, EC-Council University. With a reach of over 4,000 customers, who are initially intended to be the benefactors of this partnership, EC-Council and Vijfhart are set to take the cybersecurity training industry in the Netherlands by storm.
