EC-Council’s CEH (Practical) ™ is the world’s first ethical hacking challenge exam to attain dual recognition; attaining the ISO/IEC 17024 accredited certification status by the American National Accreditation Board (ANAB) and being recognized by the DoD for its 8140 directive for Information Assurance Roles within the defense community.

TAMPA, Fla., June 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — EC-Council, the organization behind the globally recognized Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH)® credential, announced today the recognition of two additional EC-Council certifications by United States Department of Defense (DoD) Directive 8140 including the groundbreaking Certified Ethical Hacker (Practical)™ ethical hacking challenge exam and the EC-Council Certified Incident Handler (ECIH)™. The inclusion of the CEH (Practical) Ethical Hacking Challenge exam is the first of its kind, recognizing the first and only six-hour Ethical Hacking Challenge Certification that is ISO/IEC 17024 accredited and offered to cybersecurity professionals.

This exam is part of the renowned Certified Ethical Hacker® certification, which helps cybersecurity professionals develop ethical hacking skills. During the CEH Practical exam, candidates demonstrate their ability to apply ethical hacking techniques in real-world scenarios. They use actual technologies and tools to conduct vulnerability assessments, exploit system vulnerabilities, and implement security measures to protect against cyber threats. It assesses the practical skills and knowledge of ethical hackers through a rigorous, six-hour, proctored exam.

“It’s an honor that our CEH (Practical)™ ethical hacking challenge exam and the EC-Council Incident handler™ certifications have been recognized by the U.S. Department of Defense,” said Jay Bavisi, Group President, EC-Council. “For more than two decades, we’ve demonstrated a commitment to excellence in cybersecurity education and this recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, and to our unwavering mission of creating a more secure digital future. By empowering cybersecurity professionals with the skills and knowledge they need to protect our nation’s critical systems, we are not only cultivating a proficient workforce but also shaping a stronger, more secure global landscape.”

Six EC-Council certifications have been approved as DoD 8140 Baseline certifications after meeting the ISO/IEC 17024 standard including the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH)®, Certified Ethical Hacker (Practical)™, Certified Network Defender (CND)™, Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI)™, Certified Chief Information Security Officer (CCISO)™and EC-Council Certified Incident Handler (ECIH) ™. This recognition helps strengthen national security in 28 important cybersecurity roles within the DoD Cyberspace Workforce Framework.

EC-Council certifications equip professionals with the skills to effectively combat cyber threats, safeguard critical infrastructure, and protect sensitive data. Covering areas such as ethical hacking, network defense, incident response, digital forensics, and cybersecurity leadership, these certifications provide tailored training to enhance job performance and contribute to national cybersecurity preparedness. Established in 1947, the Department of Defense (DoD) is responsible for protecting the United States from security threats. Recently, as noted by the DoD Workforce Innovation Directorate, DoD cyberspace introduced the DoD Cyber Workforce Framework (DCWF) expanding the scope of cyber skill development “from solely the information assurance workforce to a more inclusive focus comprised of personnel who build, secure, operate, defend, and protect DoD and U.S. cyberspace resources, conduct related intelligence activities, enable future operations, and project power in or through cyberspace.” The 28 roles EC-Council has been approved to certify for are included in the new expanded cyberspace roles.

Jay further commented, “This framework strengthens national defense and provides cybersecurity professionals with a clear path to career advancement. By bolstering our cybersecurity workforce, we enhance our ability to protect our digital infrastructure and data. With this recognition, the defense community will be able to essentially hack their way into DoD 8140 information assurance roles with EC-Council’s CEH practical challenge.”

“ANAB commends EC-Council for successfully attaining accreditation under ISO/IEC 17024 for its CEH(Practical) certification,” said Dr. Vijay Krishna, ANAB Vice President, Credentialing Programs. “The CEH (Practical) is a 100% competency-based certification that uses real-life scenarios and challenges to validate skills required in the ethical domains as outlined in the CEH program. EC-Council is the first ANAB-accredited cybersecurity certification body to develop a fully hands-on practical examination as an alternative to the traditional written examination for its Certified Ethical Hacking certification. The attainment of ANAB accreditation for a fully hands-on examination demonstrates EC Council’s commitment to the highest internationally recognized accreditation process.”

BingX Introduces ALTCOIN Index Futures Trading: One Click, Countless Trends

Published

December 27, 2024

VILNIUS, Lithuania, Dec. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — BingX, a global leading cryptocurrency exchange, is excited to announce the launch of ALTCOIN Index, the first futures trading pair involving top altcoins. This innovative trading product offers users a one-click solution to efficiently track and trade major cryptocurrency trends with ease.

Traditionally used in stock markets, a futures index is a financial derivative that tracks the performance of a group of assets, such as stocks of commodities. These instruments were first introduced to simplify trading by allowing investors to speculate on or hedge against the collective movements of selected market sectors. Instead of purchasing individual stocks, traders are able to access broad market exposure in a single transaction, saving time and reducing costs.

In the cryptocurrency market, this new ALTCOIN/USDT futures trading pair works similarly by bundling the performance of the top mainstream cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, excluding Bitcoin (BTC) and stablecoins. The current index includes ETH, XRP, SOL, BNB, DOGE, ADA, TRX, AVAX, and SHIB. This approach is more efficient compared to buying individual cryptocurrencies or ETFs as this allows for direct speculation using tiered leverage options without the need to manage multiple positions, effectively diversifying trading risks associated with individual asset volatility.

Vivien Lin, Chief Product Officer of BingX, commented on the new offering: “By aggregating a range of leading cryptocurrencies into a single trading instrument, we’re giving users a practical and efficient way to better capture market trends. This index trading pair should help our less experienced users with their trading goals more easily, particularly when they are unsure which asset to trade and just want to trade major altcoins in general with leverage.”

BingX users can take advantage of tiered leverage options and competitive rates consistent with the platform’s perpetual futures terms, simplifying open order management and enhancing trading efficiency. The platform also ensures that the index composition remains current, with regular quarterly adjustments and temporary updates in response to market conditions.

About BingX
Founded in 2018, BingX is a leading crypto exchange, serving over 10 million users worldwide. BingX offers diversified products and services, including spot, derivatives, copy trading, and asset management – all designed for the evolving needs of users, from beginners to professionals. BingX is committed to providing a trustworthy platform that empowers users with innovative tools and features to elevate their trading proficiency. In 2024, BingX proudly became the official crypto exchange partner of Chelsea Football Club, marking an exciting debut in the world of sports.
