“To enhance their capabilities to battle cybercrime, the French National Police has joined hands with EC-Council, and EC-Council partners— IT-Gnosis, and Sysdream, to amplify the technical skills of our investigators”, said François Beauvois, from the Central Criminal Investigation Department - French Cyber Crime Center, Cyber Intelligence Unit.
"ECSA is a trusted penetration testing credential and it is a great honor for EC-Council to associate with the Police Nationale. This association is a testimony to the technical superiority encapsulated in the ECSA program", says Sean Lim, Chief Operating Officer, EC-Council.
The ECSA program presents comprehensive methodologies covering different pen testing requirements across different industry verticals.
