History of the Company
The September 9/11 Attacks on the World Trade Center ignited a very important question in the hearts of the founders of EC–Council – Jay Bavisi and Haja Mohideen.

Shortly after the attacks, they researched the web for “Information Security” programs that would be able to provide Information Security professionals with the necessary tools and education that will help them avert a cyber war, should the need ever arise.

The results returned from the research were disappointing and that motivated them to form the International Council of Electronic Commerce Consultants, known as the EC-Council.

They soon gained the support of subject matter experts from all over the world that eventually led to the creation of various standards and certifications both in the electronic commerce and information security space.
