The EC-Council is one of the world’s largest cyber security technical certification bodies and is ANSI 17024 accredited. Mr. McDuffee’s certification provides a critical vulnerability assessment offering to the company’s Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) services portfolio.

The CEH credential certifies individuals in the specific network security discipline of Ethical Hacking from a vendor-neutral perspective.”

ZWS is committed to maintaining the highest standards of in-house and client security. This certification formalizes our security efforts and brings not only the necessary tools and techniques needed in today’s hacker-prone environment, but affords a differentiating level of credibility to our security practice that is not available from our competitors.”
