Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Certification
Origin and Creation
The Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification was created by the International Council of E-Commerce Consultants (EC-Council) in 2003. EC-Council, founded by Jay Bavisi, developed this certification in response to the growing need for standardized training in ethical hacking and penetration testing methodologies. The program was designed to legitimize the practice of "white hat" hacking by establishing a professional framework for security professionals who need to think like malicious hackers in order to better defend their organizations' systems and networks.
Industry Value and Importance
The CEH certification is widely recognized and valued in the cybersecurity industry because it validates a professional's knowledge of current hacking techniques, tools, and methodologies from an attacker's perspective. Many government agencies, including the U.S. Department of Defense, and numerous private sector organizations recognize CEH as meeting their information assurance training requirements. The certification demonstrates that holders understand how to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in systems, making them valuable assets for organizations seeking to strengthen their security posture through proactive testing and assessment.
