Certified Ethical Hacking Courses

Ethical Hacking CoursesEthical hacking is a field in which certified ethical hackers are used by an organization to infiltrate their electronic and computer security systems in order to find and correct flaws, discrepancies, loopholes and vulnerabilities. Certified Ethical Hackers (CEH) use the same tools and techniques as hackers to identify and correct system weaknesses and vulnerabilities. The duration of the course will vary according to the institute to which you apply. However, it is usually one to six months long. The eligibility criteria for joining any certification course in ethical hacking are the basic prior knowledge of networking (TCP/IP) concepts, database programming and server-side programming (PHP or JSP or ASP.net). The digitization of communication and database systems may be increasing the scope for being a certified ethical hacker, particularly when seen in comparison to the past few decades.

After completing a certification course in ethical hacking, a certified ethical hacker can work in any number of organizations like banks, hotels, airlines, telecom companies, Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES) companies, outsourcing units, retail chains, Internet companies, e-commerce ventures, police departments or government agencies. The need for cyber and system security is present in all these fields and hence ethical hackers.
