Ethical Hacking

A typical entry-level ethical hacker job posting reveals that a Bachelor's degree in computer Science or a related work field is a must. Beyond that, security certifications can be extremely beneficial in proving you have the requisite knowledge for the job. One survey found that 81 percent of security professionals believe getting certified was a key factor in the decision to hire them.
While many IT security certifications exist, the three main ones for ethical hackers are:
- Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH)
- GIAC (Global Information Assurance Certification) Penetration Tester (GPEN)
- Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP)
CEH: The Most Basic and Widely Recognized Certification
If you're looking to get started as an ethical hacker, the CEH certification, the broadest of the three, may be right for you. Offered by the EC-Council, the CEH certification is designed to give IT security professionals a baseline knowledge of security threats, risks and countermeasures through lectures and hands-on labs.
