Hackers Growing by Large Margins as Demand Increases for Higher Level Classes

SecurityCourses.com says that demand for higher level hacking and penetration testing training classes like CHFI and ECSA is surging because of the Certified Ethical Hacker.

IT security certficiation and training website SecurityCourses.com as released a statement about the direction of hacking training in today's training environment. SecurityCourses.com, which connects IT professionals with local security and hacking training classes, reports that demand for higher level hacking classes is rising rapidly.

In the report, SecurityCourses.com states that the last 2.5 years have been a mad rush for IT professionals to seek the Certified Ethical Hacker certification by the EC-Council. This baseline hacking and penetration testing certification was appropriate for anyone that had a solid foundation in IT or networking. The CEH certificiation served as the gateway learning experience for soon to be high level hackers. The exposure to a variety of toosl and skill sets in the CEH training gives people a base knowledge of many penetration testing tactics. SecurityCourses.com believes that as people put these new skills more and more, they discover more advanced techniques on their own.

Over the past six months SecurityCourses.com has seen a major increase in training requests for higher level certifications. Typically, most people that have taken the CEH look to other EC-Council classes like the CHFI certification or ECSA certification training. The CHFI training class exposes new hackers to the forensics side of defense, which helps them to prepare a legal case against hackers through the proper tracking and documentation methods. The ECSA certification is the next level of hacking and more advanced penetration testing techniques. These two classes took time to catch on in the mainstream as most people didn't have the base skill sets they needed to do well in the classes. However, SecurityCourses.com owner Ralph Sita, Jr, CPA says that this has changed drastically over the years. "The Certified Ethical Hacker really opened the eyes of a large group of people. Not only does the course content scare someone by exposing the vulnerability of almost all data, but the tools and techniques are also genuinely fun. That class really leaves people wanting more and that's why these next level classes have been growing so quickly, lately."

SecurityCourses.com staff expects the demand for the ECSA and CHFI certifications to at triple over the next year and believes that the growth is sustainable for the foreseeable future and will likely mirror the growth curve of IT security jobs throughout the country.
