The International Council of Electronic Commerce Consultants (EC-Council) is a professional organization that certifies individuals in various e-business and information security skills. The EC-Council is headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

EC-Council is best known for its professional certifications for the IT security field. It offers certifications in some fields related to IT security, including disaster recovery, software security, digital forensics, and general IT security knowledge. EC-Council has certified over 220,000 people.

Many of these certifications are recognized worldwide and have received endorsements from various government agencies including the U.S. Federal Government via the Montgomery GI Bill, National Security Agency (NSA), and the Committee on National Security Systems (CNSS). Moreover, the United States Department of Defense has included the C|EH program into its Directive 8570 making it one of the mandatory standards to be achieved by Computer Network Defenders Service Providers (C|ND-SP). Famous people certified include Edward Snowden.

 

Background of C|EH [1,2]
