PECB Certified Lead Ethical Hacker: Take Your Career to the Next Level

Cybercrime is increasing exponentially and presents devastating
risks for most organizations. According to Cybercrime Magazine,
global cybercrime damage is predicted to hit $10.5 trillion
annually as of 2025.

One of the more recent and increasingly popular forms of
tackling such issues by identifying is ethical hacking. This method
identifies potential security vulnerabilities in its early stages.
Certified ethical hackers use advanced tools and strategies to
prevent cyberattacks and help organizations strengthen their
cybersecurity.

Why Companies Should Hire Ethical Hackers

As cyberattacks constantly evolve and improve, organizations
must ensure that their defense systems and approach can keep up
with the level and complexity of cyberattacks.

In today’s business era, organizations cannot afford to operate
without identifying the vulnerabilities in their system and taking
preventive measures. As such, ethical hackers provide several
advantages: they offer a unique outsider’s perspective to a
system’s vulnerabilities, are able to detect threats before they
happen, and can provide tailored solutions to specific issues
instead of blanket alternatives. The market demand for ethical
hackers is increasingly growing.

PECB offers the Certified Lead Ethical Hacker^[1] training course, which
validates your ability to lawfully assess the security of a system,
as well as identify and mitigate potential threats.

The training course combines theory (fundamentals of ethical
hacking, network systems, cryptography, Kali Linux, and the steps
of conducting penetration tests in accordance with the most known
standards and best practices) with practice (lab sessions using
PECB’s innovative applications built specifically for this course).
You will greatly benefit from the lectures, exercises, labs,
discussions, and much more.

The PECB Certified Lead Ethical Hacker exam comprises two parts:
the practical exam and the report writing. It aims to evaluate
candidates’ comprehension, analytical skills, knowledge, and
ability to conduct information systems penetration tests. In the
practical exam, the candidate is required to compromise at least
two out of three target machines through penetration testing. The
process should be documented through a written report. The PECB
Certified Lead Ethical Hacker exam is an open book exam and lasts 6
hours.
