After the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center, when not very encouraging research was conducted and a time came when everybody desponded, EC-Council was created as inevitability and necessity.

Would the information security community have the resources and tools at their disposal to repel such an attack? But thenadays, as bad luck would have it, the answer was negative.

So it was urgent to take measures. EC-Council, officially incorporated as the International Council of E-Commerce Consultants, was founded with a quite clear objective – to create trusted and trouble-free information security training and certification programs aimed at saving the very community our connected economy from a destructive Cyber Attack. EC-Council quickly received external support from top researchers and authorities worldwide which resulted in its first Information Security Program, the Certified Ethical Hacker, launched.
