EC-Council's Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Version 8


The world's first completely hands-on ethical hacking program with a fully integrated state-of the-art cyber-attack range will be available in 450 locations in 97 countries around the world on the 20th of May.

EC-Council's Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) course has long been the standard-setting certification in the information security industry, and its new incarnation, CEHV8, is now an ANSI 17024 accredited professional certification. The CEH training program has been widely used by the Pentagon to train its computer network defense service professionals as part of the Department of Defense Directive 8570 and has also been widely used by major defense communities around the world.



Part of the challenge for the world's organizations as they fight cyber security threats are the ever-advancing capabilities of the enemy. For example, According to McAfee's Q4 2012 report, the number of mobile malware samples discovered by McAfee Labs in 2012 was 44 times the number found in 2011, meaning that 95 percent of all mobile malware samples appeared in the last year alone. This dramatic shift to mobile hacking makes some long-standing methods of security information somewhat obsolete. CEH v8 has been designed with this and other changes in mind, covering the latest development in mobile and web technologies including Andriod OS 4.1 and Apps, iOS 6 and Apps, BlackBerry 7 OS, Windows Phone 8 and HTML 5.

CEHV8 comes with some remarkable updates, not just to the content, but to the content delivery systems and tools, making it an invaluable tool for organizations ranging from Fortune 500companies to the world's governments; preparing the next generation of cyber warriors to protect their networks like never before. Students can expect a strong focus on advanced hacking concepts, mobile platforms, tablet computer hacking techniques, and real time case studies. 100% of the concepts presented in the CEH V8 course are reinforced by hands-on exercises in EC-Councils newest cyber range. Students utilizing EC-Councils subscription-based range service will be able to practice these critical skills at any time, from anywhere in the world with an active Internet connection, further developing their skills as professionals. "Cyber professionals need to be equipped with the tools and the hands-on experience necessary to actively defend their networks. In the kinetic world, sharp shooters call it "rounds down range" - the simple fact being that what you learn in a classroom must be reinforced in an actual cyber range with real machines.
