EC-Council Certified Security Analyst
Course Description
The EC-Council Certified Security Analyst (ECSA) certification is an advanced-level cybersecurity program designed for those who want to move beyond ethical hacking and master real-world penetration testing methodologies. This course equips learners with the in-depth skills required to plan, execute, and document professional security assessments following industry-standard frameworks.
Through hands-on labs, structured methodologies, and real enterprise scenarios, the ECSA prepares students to operate as cybersecurity analysts, penetration testers, red teamers, and security consultants.
