Our Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) Certification Track
EC-Council’s Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) course encapsulates various independent certification programs in order to deliver outstanding training and learning. The VAPT course structure is as follows:At its core, the VAPT includes three certifications:
CND: Certified Network Defender
The Certified Network Defender (CND) certification program focuses on creating network administrators who are trained in protecting, detecting, and responding to threats on a network. The course contains hands-on labs based on major network security tools and techniques which will provide network administrators real-world expertise on current network security technologies and operations. For more details on the CND program, visit the course page.
CEH: Certified Ethical Hacker
The C|EH credential certifies individuals in the specific network security discipline of Ethical Hacking from a vendor-neutral perspective. This is the world’s most advanced certified online ethical hacking training with 20 of the most current security domains needed to improve the information security posture of an organization. For more details on the C|EH program, visit the course page.
CEH (Practical): Certified Ethical Hacker
C|EH Practical is a six-hour exam that requires you to demonstrate the application of ethical hacking techniques such as threat vector identification, network scanning, OS detection, vulnerability analysis, system hacking, web app hacking, etc. to solve a security audit challenge. This is the next step after you have attained the Certified Ethical Hacker certification. For further information on C|EH (Practical), visit the course page.
At the advanced level, the VAPT certification track includes three certifications:
C|TIA: Certified Threat Intelligence Analyst
The Certified Threat Intelligence Analyst (CTIA) program was developed in collaboration with cybersecurity and threat intelligence experts across the globe to help organizations identify and mitigate business risks by converting unknown internal and external threats into known threats. It is a comprehensive, specialist-level program that teaches a structured approach for building effective threat intelligence. Visit the course page to learn more about the C|TIA program.
ECSA: EC-Council Certified Security Analyst
The ECSA program offers a seamless learning progression, continuing where the CEH program leaves off. Unlike most other pen-testing programs that only follow a generic kill chain methodology, the ECSA presents a set of comprehensive methodologies that cover different pentesting requirements across different verticals. Visit our course page to learn more about the ECSA program.
ECSA (Practical): EC-Council Certified Security Analyst (Practical)
The ECSA (Practical) tests your ability to perform threat and exploit research, understand exploits in the wild, write your own exploits, customize payloads, and make critical decisions at different phases of a pentesting engagement that can make or break the whole assessment. Visit our course page to know more about ECSA (Practical) program.
At the expert level, the VAPT certification track has one certification:
LPT (Master): Licensed Penetration Tester (Master)
The LPT program was created to turn you into a master in pentesting methodologies and tools by giving you the hardest challenges in a timed environment, just like the real world. Your pen testing skills will be challenged over three levels, each with three challenges, against a multi-layered network architecture with defense-in-depth controls. You will be required to make knowledgeable decisions under immense pressure at critical stages while selecting your approach and exploits.
The Advanced Penetration Testing Course by EC-Council was created as the progression after the ECSA (Practical) to prepare you to challenge the Licensed Penetration Tester (Master) certification and be recognized as an elite penetration testing professional.
