What is EC-Council Certified Security Analyst –Licensed Penetration Tester Program
You are an ethical hacker. Your last name is “Pwned.” You dream about enumeration and you can scan networks in your sleep. You have expert knowledge and an arsenal of hacking tools. You know how to successfully attack fully patched and hardened systems and circumvent common security controls.
You may be asking yourself, “Is that enough? What’s next?”
Even though you may be able to write custom code to prevent exploits, what you may be lacking is the knowledge and experience to execute a successful penetration test according to accepted industry standards. Do you lack the knowledge to correctly apply ethical hacking tools while effectively conducting a security analysis of your organization’s network infrastructure?
The EC-Council Certified Security Analyst/Licensed Penetration Tester program consists of two components i.e. EC-Council Certified Security Analyst (ECSA) training and Licensed Penetration Tester (LPT) performance-based skill assessment.
How is EC-Council Security Analyst (ECSA) Program Different From The Licensed Penetration Testing (LPT) Program?
The EC-Council Certified Security Analyst (ECSA) program teaches various penetration testing and security auditing methodologies. Licensed Penetration Tester (LPT) program teaches the report writing skills of the professional pen tester. The LPT program was also designed to evaluate the student’s capabilities of performing penetration tests in real- time scenarios on an active cyber range.
How Many Certificates will I Get?
The ECSA/LPT program awards two certificates to successful candidates. The ECSA certificate is provided on successfully passing the online ECSA exam and LPT credentials are provided upon meeting the requirements stated in LPT application form.
What is the ECSA/LPT Program Flow?
Do I have to be CEH to Attempt the ECSA Certification.
No. While the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification is not a prerequisite for the ECSA course, we strongly advise candidates to attain the CEH prior to the commencement of the ECSA course.
Can I take ECSA Training Only and Skip the Licensed Pentration Tester training and certification?
Yes. However, we strongly recommend candidates to pursue the Licensed Penetration Tester certification as it can be a major milestone in your career and establish you as a penetration tester and Information Security Auditor.
