Pearson, Educomp JV launches course in ethical hacking

IndiaCan, a 50:50 joint venture between Educomp Solutions Ltd and Pearson Inc, has launched a certificate course in ethical hacking in collaboration with Ankit Fadia, a computer security expert.

The Ankit Fadia Certified Ethical Hacker course (AFCEH) is a certification programme in ethical hacking that aims at training and certifying a whole new generation of ethical hackers in the field of computer security. The one-month AFCEH course will train and certify students in all aspects of ethical hacking that come in use in the fast growing computer security consulting industry.

IndiaCan is a skills training company that has introduced many certification courses in India that offer employment opportunities to students in niche sectors and intermediate service industries.

K Ramakrishnan, regional manager, IndiaCan, said, “There is growing international concern about the misuse of the internet. Cyber crime is on the rise and in the absence of a clearly defined law against cyber crimes in India there is a huge job opportunity in the internet and computer security market.”

Under this programme, students would be taught about ethical hacking with the help of live interactive sessions, video lectures, bestselling text books, question bank, practical lab sessions and real life examples.

AFCEH will be available in Hyderabad, Chennai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Burdwan, Patna, Jamshedpur, Guwahati, Ranchi, Raipur, Bilaspur, Agartala, New Delhi, Dehradun, Jaipur, Bathinda, Ajmer, Alwar and Thane.
