History of the Company

EC-Council was formed as the result of very disheartening research after the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center. Founder, Jay Bavisi, after watching the attacks unfold, posed the question, what if a similar attack were to be carried out on the cyber battlefield? Would the information security community have the tools and resources at their disposal to thwart such an attack?

At that time, the answer was no. EC-Council, officially incorporated as the International Council of E-Commerce Consultants was formed to create information security training and certification programs to support the community our connected economy depends on and help protect it from devastating cyberattacks. EC-Council rapidly gained the support of top researchers and subject matter experts around the world and launched its first information security program: the Certified Ethical Hacker.

With this ever-growing team of subject matter experts and InfoSec researchers, EC-Council continued to build various standards, certifications, and training programs in the electronic commerce and information security space.
