The Mission of EC-Council | Associate

EC-Council and Certiport have combined forces to introduce a fundamental Cybersecurity series focusing on validating introductory offensive (red-team) and defensive (blue-team) skills alike. Our mission of the EC-Council | Associate Series is to validate skills in Ethical Hacking and Cyber Forensics to qualify the strength, skill, and readiness of a professional leading to a career in the highly lucrative Information Security industry. The EC-Council | Associate Series immerses students in a hand’s-on environment (via iLabs) where they work with multiple virtual machines in a cloud-based lab range environment, studying attack and investigative methodologies.

Learn the most popular offensive topics such as Intrusion Detection, Cryptography, Identification-Authentication-Authorization, Ethical Hacking-Pen Testing, and more which lead to the Ethical Hacking Associate (EHA) credential. This course reflects EC-Council’s true model, “To Beat A Hacker… You Need To Think Like A Hacker…” and is was built to also prepare individuals for the globally recognized Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification. Interested in a career in Computer Forensics to investigate sophisticated attacks? Fortify your application knowledge of Incident Response, Cyber Crime, Digital Forensics, Email Crime, and more with the Cyber Forensics Associate (CFA). This course was built to also prepare individuals for the Computer Hacking Forensics Investigator (CHFI) certification.
