Companies and industries are growing increasingly dependent on technology as digital transformation becomes ubiquitous in today’s business environment. Consequently, cybersecurity is now relevant for every system, device, and byte of data that organizations rely on to operate.
The COVID-19 pandemic has further augmented the need for skilled cybersecurity professionals to address the crisis organizations are facing as a result of digitalization and rising cybercrime. According to PayScale (2022), cybersecurity analysts in the United States earn a median annual salary of USD 77,000, with most positions offering between USD 54,000 and 116,000 per year. Despite this high demand and attractive compensation, however, there is not enough cybersecurity talent to fill open job positions and protect organizations’ security postures.
EC-Council has developed the Certified Cybersecurity Technician certification
The Certified Cybersecurity Technician (C|CT) is an entry-level cybersecurity program created by EC-Council, the creator of the Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH) certification, to address the global demand for a qualified cybersecurity workforce.
EC-Council developed the C|CT to provide individuals starting their careers in IT and cybersecurity with a certification that validates their hands-on technical skills.
To equip individuals with the skills they need to pursue and develop their careers as cybersecurity specialists, consultants, network engineers, IT administrators, and more.
Why Become A Certified Cybersecurity Technician (CCT)?
The C|CT provides the foundational skills essential for starting a career in cybersecurity, focusing on four disciplines: network defense, ethical hacking, digital forensics, and security operations.
To address the cybersecurity skills gap, EC-Council has developed the Certified Cybersecurity Technician (C|CT) certification.
EC-Council has developed the C|CT to provide individuals starting their careers in IT and cybersecurity with a certification that validates their practical technician-level skills.
The C|CT creates a foundation that enables individuals to grow their skills in specialized domains like penetration testing, security consulting, auditing, and system and network administration.
Strong Foundational Coverage The C|CT certification provides total foundational cybersecurity domain coverage with key concepts in each domain combined with practical hands-on labs and critical thinking challenges producing world-class cyber security technologists.
Live Range Experience Other popular programs rely on simulation and interactivity as practical-based assessment, the C|CT program is delivered on a live Cyber Range utilizing live targets and real attack systems for a truly immersive, real-life practice and assessment platform.
Capture the Flag The C|CT certification offers capture the flag (CTF) style critical thinking challenges to accompany each lab exercise putting knowledge into practice and providing a proven record of skill demonstration. Candidates completing the C|CT program will earn the C|CT certification and have a proven track record of performing the tasks required in a live Cyber Range, proving to employers their ability to perform critical job duties.
Multiple Certifications The course outline of the C|CT program goes above and beyond some of the more common entry-level cybersecurity programs, such as the Security+, in a completely hands-on cyber range environment instead of simulations to ensure cybersecurity skills development. We believe that candidates who successfully attain the C|CT certification will attain other leading cybersecurity certifications, including Security+, without further training.
Most Affordable Despite the unique design of the heavily hands-on course and its uses of real-world cyber range capability, the certification is one of the most affordable in the world!
