EC-Council launches iLabs Program in India

EC-Council (The International Council of Electronic Commerce Consultants) has announced the launch of virtualized cybersecurity training platform, iLabs providing round-the-clock access to cyber learning materials, a virtual private cloud for every student, available to students based anywhere in the country with just a simple access to the internet.
 
iLabs is a range of preconfigured virtual machines will allow students to get practical, hands-on experience in the concepts and methodologies taught in EC-Council’s IT Security Certification courses. Students can apply their skills to work with vulnerabilities, exploits, tools, and scripts to practice and test, in a safe, fully functional virtual cloud.
 
Jay Bavisi, President, EC-Council, said, “India needs to gear up against the cyber plague every single day and one of the best ways is through secure coding and hacking education. Preparing the next generation is perhaps the best step towards achieving our goal. iLabs is one such platform that will get students and professionals to address and solve vulnerabilities in cybersecurity skills. With immediate effect, this program will be available with all our partners across India.”
 
The course will also include state-of-the-art “Open Environment” allowing students to launch a complete live range, including Backtrack, Microsoft Windows Servers, Microsoft Windows Desktops, as well as various Linux and Unix-based machines with preconfigured target and victim machines in addition to attack machines.
