Certified Ethical Hacker Version 7

I came across a posting at CCCURE regarding the CEHv7 launch.

Here is the excerpt from the website.

CEH V7 is coming, move away QEH, CPTS, CREST, and others

Yesterday I was invited to a great webinar delivered by EC-Council to introduce the CEH Version 7 to a selected group of partners and ATC's.    Let me tell you that I was VERY PLEASED with what I have seen.  It seems that this time they went above and beyond and they got it right.

For many years I have been a critic of the CEH content where the focus was on tools, they were using old Operating Systems in their lab and in class,  they had way too much slides on tools, overall it was not very conducive to a great learning experience.  This is now OLD HISTORY with the new CEH Version 7 that just came out. 

The EC-council has just set the new standard by which all other certifications like the QEH from Security University, or the CPTS from Miles2, or even CREST will have to attempt reaching if they wish to remain in the game.   From what I have seen these certifications are now being left behind in the dust attempting to catch up to the new CEH V7.

I have not been this excited in a long time and the final product is a testament to the endless hours they have worked on the new course package.  They really had a top notch team of international expert who worked until  a consensus would be established and true skills, techniques, and knowledge would be communicated to the students."
