“I believe most of the organizations with sensitive data do experience illegal infiltrations at several levels. But majority of such crimes go unrecorded and unreported. Updating antivirus software on systems, and scanning for viruses on devices are a must, but the hackers are smarter than what we think”, says Mehar Ahluwalia-Director at Mercury. The scale of the information security attacks is going higher up than most information security professionals realize. This has led to a huge increase in demand for certified security professionals who can detect the ways in which computer criminals hack, penetrate the system to fix the loopholes, and prevent the organization from massive harm. EC Council is one such organization that offers a certified expertise in ethical or legal hacking techniques.

The International Council of E-Commerce Consultants (EC-Council) is a member-based organization that certifies individuals in diverse e-business and information security skills. It is the owner and creator of the world renowned Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), Computer Hacking Forensics Investigator (CHFI) and EC-Council Certified Security Analyst (ECSA)/License Penetration Tester (LPT) programs, and many others programs, that are offered in over 60 countries.

The EC Council courses have been designed to teach ‘What is hacking’, ‘How to hack’ and ‘How to defend the system from black hat (malicious) hackers’. These courses enable students to assume the mindset of hackers, identify the security gaps in the IT infrastructure and take pre-emptive measures to avert the hackers’ attacks.

The EC Council Certified Ethical Hacker Training, Security Analyst Training and Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator Training include all aspects of IT security.

The curricula involve Intrusion Detection, DDoS Attacks, Policy Creation, Buffer Overflows, Virus Creation, etc. A Certified Ethical Hacker is an expert in the advanced hacking and penetration testing methodologies, and assures his employer of the ability to move the organization to a higher state of security.

The EC Council training programs available at Mercury (An authorized Prometric & Pearson VUE Testing Center) lead to the following certifications:

* CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker)
* CHFI (Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator)
