Mr. Jay Bavisi, President of EC-Council said, Being an integral part of the industry, we have designed Hacker Halted to represent and act as a stage for the industry. The main objective of Hacker Halted is to raise international awareness towards increased educations and ethics in information security. We envisage Hacker Halted to be a knowledge-sharing platform for security professionals from all over the world.

Recognizing the growing demands for security education and trainings, EC-Council will be launching the Hacker Halted | Academy, where some of the most sought after trainings & certification classes offered by top training companies and led by well-respected instructors are put together under one roof, prior to the conference proper. With training companies such as Global Knowledge Networks, InterNetwork Defense, Foundstone Inc, Aspect Security, Veridion, and NGS Software, among others, offering both certifications preparatory classes and technical skills training classes, Hacker Halted | Academy promises to live up to its expectation of being a one stop training location for everyone.
