Certified Ethical Hacking officially approved by DoD


The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has announced official approval of the EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification program. It is now a baseline skills requirement for U.S. computer network defenders (CNDs).

The Certified Ethical Hacker requirement falls under DoD Directive 8570. This directive provides clear guidance to information assurance training, certification and workforce management.


Military service, contractors, and foreign employees across all job descriptions must show 100% compliance with the new Certified Ethical Hacker training requirement by 2011.


The Certified Ethical Hacker qualification tests the certification holder's knowledge in the mindset, tools and techniques of a hacker, and carries the tag line: "To beat a hacker, you must think like one."


"CEH has been selected due to the immense technical and tactical nature of the certification," said Jay Bavisi, co-founder and president of EC-Council. "It is one of the most technically advanced certifications on the directive for CND professionals. While other policy-based programs add value, CEH prepares the U.S. CNDs to combat hackers in real time, defending U.S. interests globally."

More information about EC-Council and Directive 8570 can be found on the EC-Council website.
