Associated Certifications & Exam
The ECSA exam includes 2 required stages:
To be eligible to attempt the exam, candidates are required to perform real-world penetration testing over EC-Council’s secure cyber range and to produce a penetration test report that clearly documents the vulnerabilities found. This report will be graded by EC-Council’s professionals. Candidates that successfully submit an acceptable report will proceed on to a multiple-choice exam that tests a candidate’s knowledge.
Candidates that submit reports to the required standards will be provided with an exam voucher for the multiple-choice ECSA v9 exam. Candidates that successfully pass the multiple-choice exam will be awarded the ECSA credential.
The ECSA exam aims to test a candidate’s knowledge and application of critical penetration testing methodologies.

EC- Council Overview
To beat a hacker, you need to think like one…
Ethical Hacking is the process of proactively penetrating systems, to which one has official permission to do so, with a view to determining whether vulnerabilities exist and then to undertake the necessary preventive, corrective, and protective countermeasures before an actual compromise to the systems can occur.
Torque IT’s authorised EC-Council training, and associated certification, solutions empower you to identify vulnerabilities and to assess the security posture of target systems. EC-Council certifications are universally recognised as demonstrating a high level of expertise and credibility for individuals and the organisations that employ them.
