Modern cybersecurity is no longer limited to defending systems; we must also think as an attacker to anticipate threats. This is exactly what certification proposes CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker). And for businesses, cybersecurity doesn't make a difference: it's aligned with international standards like ISO/IEC 27001 to ensure risk management and compliance.
1. CEH: Ethical hacking framed
What is CEH certification?
The CEH, issued byEC-Council, trains professionals to use hacker techniques (scanning, sniffing, fault exploitation...) in a framework legal and controlled. The objective is toidentify vulnerabilities before cyber criminals.
Skills acquired:
- fault analysis (OWASP, CVE)
- Intrusion tests
- Active/passive recognition
- Operating techniques (Web, Network, Wi-Fi, Cloud, IoT)
- Using tools (Nmap, Metasploit, Burp Suite, etc.)
- Preparation of test reports
Who's the CEO?
- Security Analysts
- Junior Pentesters
- SOC officials
- Network/system admins wishing to pass "red side"
2. ISO/IEC 27001: The reference standard in cybersecurity
What is ISO 27001?
LISO/IEC 27001 is an international standard that defines how to implement a Information Security Management System (ISMS). It guides companies in the risk management related to sensitive data (HR, clients, finance, etc.).
Objectives:
- Identifying critical assets and risks
- Implement appropriate controls
- Protecting confidentiality, integrity and availability of information
- Comply with legislation (GDPR, MPA, etc.)
- Continuously improve organizational security
3. CEH + ISO: Union of offensive competences and governance
Associate the CEH used for Persons responsible forIt's a bridge between technology and strategy, between Action and compliance. Here's why this combo is particularly powerful:
| CEH | ISO 27001 |
|---|---|
| Intrusion tests | Risk management |
| Ethical Hacking | Regulatory compliance |
| Technical analysis | Security governance |
| Identification of faults | Definition of security policies |
| Simulated attacks | Plans for continuous improvement |
In business:
- A CEH expert identifies faults.
- An ISO 27001 team ensures that processes and controls are in place to address these deficiencies in a sustainable and documented manner.
Conclusion
Certification CEH gives you the tools for acting like an ethical hacker. The standard ISO/IEC 27001 gives you the framework for Protecting data at an organizational level.
If you want a complete cybersecurity profile — both offensive and in accordance with international standards — Combining these two approaches is a winning strategy.
