Certified ethical hacker: CEH certification cost, training, and value

Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) is an early-career certification for security pros who want to demonstrate that they can assess weaknesses in target systems, using techniques often associated with hackers to help identify vulnerabilities for employers or clients. CEH (sometimes written as C|EH) is probably the most famous certification offered by the International Council of Electronic Commerce Consultants, or EC-Council, a cybersecurity education and training nonprofit founded in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.

There are two levels of CEH certification. You can be CEH-certified after passing a multiple-choice exam covering a broad spectrum of hacking knowledge, and meeting certain experience or training requirements. If you choose to move beyond that, you can then take the CEH Practical exam, which involves penetration testing on simulated systems; if you pass that exam, you will achieve CEH Master status.
