EC-Council was founded by Jay Bavisi after the 9/11 attacks, driven by the concern of a potential cyber battlefield attack. At the time, the cybersecurity community lacked the necessary tools to prevent such threats. Incorporated as the International Council of E-Commerce Consultants, EC-Council aimed to develop information security training and certification programs. It quickly gained global support, launching its first major program, the Certified Ethical Hacker. Since then, EC-Council has continued expanding its certifications and training in cybersecurity and e-commerce security.
