The International Council of Electronic Commerce Consultants (EC-Council) is a professional organization created to support e-Business individuals and organizations. The Ethical Hacking and Countermeasures certification (CEH) is a vendor neutral certification measuring one's ability to preemptively thwart a malicious attack, while staying within legal guidelines.

The certification is well suited for experienced technology professionals with previous experience and certifications.  "A Certified Ethical Hacker is a skilled professional who understands and knows how to look for the weaknesses and vulnerabilities in target systems and uses the same knowledge and tools as a malicious hacker."

Hacking is a crime in the United States in most other countries. Applying the techniques learned by preparing for this certification must only be done by request of the organization or business owning the system being "hacked."
