EC-Council Certified Incident Handler (E|CIH v3)

The EC-Council Certified Incident Handler (E|CIHv2) certification program is a specialist-level professional training designed to equip cybersecurity professionals with advanced knowledge and practical skills in effectively managing and responding to security incidents. Developed in collaboration with industry experts, the program offers a methodical, hands-on approach that covers every stage of the Incident Handling and Response (IH&R) process — from preparation and detection to containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident activities. E|CIHv2 prepares candidates to handle real-world incident scenarios such as malware attacks, email and network breaches, web application compromises, cloud security incidents, and insider threats. The program emphasizes forensic readiness, first response procedures, and compliance with industry frameworks such as NICE and CREST. Candidates gain access to over 50 labs, 800 tools, and multiple operating systems, simulating real-time environments that build critical decision- making and technical capabilities. By combining theory with intensive practical exercises, including evidence collection and analysis, threat actor behavior decoding, and automated incident response orchestration, E|CIHv2 prepares incident handlers to reduce the impact of security breaches on an organization’s assets and reputation. It is ideal for mid to high-level cybersecurity professionals aiming to excel in incident handling, incident response, or SOC roles globally.
