Hong Kong Monetary Authority Recognises EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker

Hong Kong,  April 22nd, 2021

EC-Council’s Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification is now included in the HKMA Cyber Fortification Initiative (CFI) 2.0 program. This is a testament on the efficacy, quality and credibility of the CEH program, attributes serving the needs of financial services’ providers in Hong Kong and globally.

HKMA, the de facto central bank of Hong Kong, introduced the CFI initiative with the aim to raise the cyber resilience of Hong Kong’s banking system.

The initiative is underpinned by three pillars: the Cyber Resilience Assessment Framework (C-RAF), the Professional Development Programme (PDP), and the Cyber Intelligence Sharing Platform (CISP).

The inclusion of EC-Council’s CEH as a qualification in the HKMA Cybersecurity Fortification Initiative (CFI) 2.0 for C-RAF 2.0 – Risk Assessment, is testimony of CEH’s technical competency and relevancy to mission critical sectors, in this case specifically addressing the cybersecurity capabilities required in the banking and financial services sector

Grooming the next generation of cybersecurity workforce is a critical and integral part of governments and enterprises globally, and Hong Kong is not alone in this. EC-Council is aligned to this mission through its advocacy efforts globally.
