EC-Council's ENSA courseware certified to have met the CNSS 4011 Training Standards

USA, June 4, 2008 - EC-Council was honored at the 12th Colloquium for Information Systems Security
Education (CISSE) by the United States Government National Security Agency (NSA) and the Committee
on National Security Systems (CNSS) when its Network Security Administrator course (ENSA) was
certified for meeting the 4011 training standard for information security professionals. Mr. Sanjay Bavisi,
President of EC-Council, was present at the Colloquium to receive the award.

Candidates who complete the EC-Council Network Security Administrator (ENSA) program will also have
that extra credential meeting the requirements of the CNSS 4011 Federal Security Certification and
Training Standards. This will be indicated in all new certifications earned for this program.

After receiving the award from Mr. David Wennergren, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for
Information Management and Technology & Deputy Chief Information Officer of the Department of
Defense, Jay commented, "It is another milestone for EC-Council's courseware to be certified as matching
the stringent CNSS standard. The US government does require [that] its networking professionals meet
this 4011 training standard," He adds, "And because our security certification met the requirements, we
strongly feel that there will be a high demand by employers for these skills set. Our training partners
globally will benefit from this strong endorsement."

Being certified, EC-Council is joining the list of prestigious groups of institutes and organizations which
includes the likes of the US Air Force Academy, US Military Academy, Carnegie Mellon University, Cisco,
and Microsoft, amongst others, to have met the 4011 standard.
