Detailed information about this program

EC-Council's Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification gives you the skills and knowledge needed to drive your career forward in the age of Al. With CEH, you'll learn hacking and how to think like a hacker. We'll equip you to: • Find and fix weaknesses: Discover how hackers exploit systems and learn ethical hacking to keep your data safe. • Become a security expert: Master the top tools and techniques needed to strengthen your organization's security. • Protect your reputation: Learn to proactively prevent data breaches and safeguard your customers' trust. • Master ethical hacking with Al: Leverage Al-driven techniques to enhance your ethical hacking skills and stay ahead of cyber threats. For more than 20 years, EC-Council's cybersecurity programs have empowered professionals around the world to apply their training and expertise to combat cyberattacks. The CEH Hall of Fame celebrates individuals who have excelled, achieved, and fostered a spirit of leadership among their colleagues and peers within the cybersecurity community. The latest CEH Hall of Fame Industry Report highlights how the CEH certification continues to impact cybersecurity careers around the world. There are no specific prerequisites for the CEH program. However, we strongly recommend that candidates possess a minimum of 2 years of experience in IT security before attempting CEH. CEH training involves testing systems and using them for purposes not originally intended. Candidates should understand the basic functions of those IT systems before attempting to hack them. For example, CEH will teach the process of host evaluation leading to enumeration. In this rocess, trainees will scan downrange targets using common scanning techniques such as Nmap, which will respond with a list of ports. Enumerating those ports and the services running on them can be used to expose common vulnerabilities and weaknesses in systems. However, in this scenario, CEH Al will not teach you what a port is. This is essential knowledge that you must have to be successful in the class.

What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Certification)

  • Multi-phase penetration testing methodologies — execute with reduced oversight across network, web application, and social engineering test vectors in client environments.
  • Exploitation frameworks such as Metasploit and custom scripts — deploy independently to validate discovered vulnerabilities and demonstrate proof-of-concept exploits.
  • Operating system and application server software — analyze configurations and misconfigurations to identify privilege escalation paths on enterprise infrastructure.
  • Complex problem-solving techniques — apply when encountering non-standard defenses or unexpected system behaviors during live penetration engagements.
  • Intermediate-level assessment reports — author with clear technical narratives, risk ratings, and remediation recommendations for both IT staff and business stakeholders.
  • Database management system software — test for authentication bypass, privilege abuse, and data exposure vulnerabilities in routine client database assessments.
  • Cloud-based management software and infrastructure — assess for misconfigured permissions, exposed storage buckets, and insecure API endpoints in cloud tenancy reviews.
  • Staff and end users reporting security incidents — assist in troubleshooting and correlating symptoms to identify whether issues stem from active compromise or system malfunction.
  • Object-oriented and scripting development environments — write and adapt exploit proof-of-concept code to validate specific vulnerability classes in target applications.
  • Inductive reasoning and pattern recognition — apply across multiple client engagements to identify recurring vulnerability trends and refine testing efficiency.
