Live Online Instructor Lead Training for Free

March 18, 2009 - PRLog -- EC-Council, the world’s leading e-business and security certification organization, owner and developer of the world renowned “Certified Ethical Hacker –C|EH” and the “Computer Hacking Forensics Investigator – C|HFI” certification is offering US$100,000 worth of free information security training to aid the security community.

The aim of this free training is to help professionals that were unable to train and certify due to economic constraints such as layoff, budgetary cutbacks, and other influences preventing professional development in information security training as well as to support national and global security measures on combating cyber crime and cyber terrorism.

“While the nuclear arm’s race is a logical threat, it is limited to nations and certain organizations that posses the technology and massive resources. The cyber arm’s race is open to anyone and everyone that posses the right knowledge. Therefore, we must empower cyber defenders to stop the escalation of cyber terrorism, and we hope that this action of EC-Council will also be a timely way of investing in the future of young leaders that will be pioneers to defend the nations globally through the new frontiers,” said EC-Council’s President Mr. Sanjay Bavisi.
