EC-Council, the world’s leading e-business and security certification organization, owner and developer of the world renowned “Certified Ethical Hacker –C|EH” and the “Computer Hacking Forensics Investigator – C|HFI” certification is proud to announce its effort to support national and global security measures on combating cyber crime and cyber terrorism and to contribute to the information security community by offering US$100,000 worth of scholarships to deserving students regardless of their certification affiliation.
This generosity gesture to support the information security community is in line with the vision of EC-Council to help reduce cyber crime globally via education and to beat the hackers at their own game. President and Co-founder of EC-Council, Jay Bavisi said “While the nuclear arm’s race is a logical threat, it is limited to nations and certain organizations that posses the technology and massive resources. The cyber arm’s race is open to anyone and everyone that posses the right knowledge. Therefore, we must empower cyber defenders to stop the escalation of cyber terrorism, and we hope that this action of EC-Council will also be a timely way of investing in the future of young leaders that will be pioneers to defend the nations globally through the new frontiers.”
The uniqueness about this Secure Aid program is that it does not limit its criteria to just EC-Council certifications among them the Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH), Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (C|HFI), EC-Council Certified Security Analyst (E|CSA), Licensed Penetration Tester (L|PT), EC-Council Network Security Administrator (E|NSA), Security 5 and Network 5, but it also includes all other certifications like CISSP, CISM, CISA, Ultimate Hacking, GPEN, GCIH, to promote a revolutionary way of thinking that stresses the importance of inter-organization and international cooperation reiterating EC-Council’s stand as a vendor neutral provider.
