EC Council Certified Ethical Hacker Certification (CEH) v13

The Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) v13 certification by EC-Council is globally recognized as a premier course in Ethical Hacking. It provides a comprehensive understanding of modern security technologies and equips participants with the ability to think like an attacker, enabling them to identify vulnerabilities and enhance organizational IT security effectively.

The CEH training course covers essential topics such as network security, penetration testing, vulnerability analysis, malware threat defense, and protection against advanced attack methods. Aligned with the NICE Framework, this course prepares vendor-neutral cybersecurity professionals to tackle current and emerging threats with confidence.

Participants gain hands-on experience through practical training in an interactive hacking environment. They learn to scan, test, secure, and defend systems against cyber threats like SQL injection, Trojans, viruses, DDoS attacks, and network exploits. A key aspect of the program is mastering advanced tools such as Nmap, Wireshark, Metasploit, and Burp Suite to proactively identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.

The CEH v13 certification course provides in-depth knowledge of the five phases of Ethical Hacking—reconnaissance, scanning, gaining access, maintaining access, and covering tracks. As a globally respected qualification, it is an essential step for professionals seeking to establish themselves as experts in the cybersecurity field and protect organizations from digital threats.

The CEHv13 certification redefines Ethical Hacking with a strong focus on the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI). It combines proven hacking methods with cutting-edge technologies to enhance security standards and counter threats more effectively.

The Five Phases of Ethical Hacking in CEHv13

• Reconnaissance: Strategies and techniques for information gathering
• Scanning: Identifying network vulnerabilities

A CEH certification offers a variety of benefits and reasons why cybersecurity professionals pursue this certification.

• Career Opportunities:
  92% of employers prefer CEH-certified professionals.

• Practical Experience:
  Gain hands-on experience in a safe, simulated environment to analyze and combat real threats.

• Flexible Learning:
  Choose between in-person training or online learning to suit your needs.

• Future-Proof:
  Stay ahead in the cybersecurity field with skills that meet the industry’s evolving demands.

The training covers the five phases of Ethical Hacking, teaching you how cybercriminals operate and how to defend against them:

1- Information Gathering (Reconnaissance)

• How do hackers collect information about their targets?
• Tools and techniques for analyzing networks and systems.

2- Scanning and Vulnerability Analysis

• Identify security weaknesses in networks and applications.
• Use modern tools like Nmap or Wireshark.

3- Gaining Access

• Understand how hackers infiltrate systems and develop defensive strategies.

4- Maintaining Access

• Learn how attackers maintain long-term access to systems and how to prevent this.

5- Covering Tracks

• Discover techniques hackers use to hide their activities and how to detect them.

This certification is ideal for:

• Cybersecurity professionals
• Network administrators
• IT auditors
• Anyone responsible for securing IT infrastructures

The CEH exam is the crowning conclusion of the course and allows you to demonstrate your skills in ethical hacking and cybersecurity. After completing the training, you’ll take the CEH certification exam, which consists of two parts:

1. Theoretical Exam

• Duration: 4 hours
• Format: 125 multiple-choice questions (online)
• Focus: Tests your knowledge of attack methods and security strategies

2. Practical Exam

• Duration: 6 hours
• Format: Realistic scenarios in a virtual Cyber Range
• Focus: Demonstrates your ability to handle real-world security threats

Upon successfully passing both exams, you’ll earn the globally recognized CEH certification.

Technical Requirements: To take the exam via RPS, you only need a webcam and a functioning microphone. This allows a proctor to ensure exam conditions are maintained remotely.
