ELCAS Certified Cybersecurity Technician Content
Youu2019ll learn about the main challenges in cybersecurity: what kinds of threats and vulnerabilities exist, how attacks happen, and the different types of malware. Youu2019ll also explore how systems check who you are (identification, authentication, authorisation), and youu2019ll get a solid introduction to cryptography (how data is secured) and public key infrastructure (PKI), which is a way to manage and use encryption in a network.
Examine different types of security controls: administrative (like policies and governance), physical (such as securing the physical space), and technical (firewalls, intrusion detection systems, VPNs, and more). Youu2019ll learn about securing wireless networks, alongside the principles behind virtualisation (running virtual machines), cloud security, and how encryption and segmentation help protect data.
Discover how to design applications with security in mind and test them to find weak spots. Plus, youu2019ll learn about securing different devices: smartphones, Internet of Things (IoT) gadgets, and operational technology (OT) systems (for example, industrial devices).
When things go wrong, such as a security breach, you need to know how to respond. This module teaches you the full incident response process: how to handle and investigate incidents. Youu2019ll also cover the basics of computer forensics, including: collecting digital evidence and analysing it to understand what happened.
To keep a system secure, you canu2019t just set defences and forget. In this part of the CCT youu2019ll learn how to assess network security using threat-hunting techniques, threat intelligence, vulnerability assessments, ethical hacking, penetration testing, and managing configuration and assets. Youu2019ll practise monitoring network traffic, analysing logs, and troubleshooting suspicious or anomalous activity.
Learn how to secure data through backup, retention and preventing data loss. Youu2019ll also cover risk management: what it is, how to analyse and plan for risk and how to prepare for major incidents with business continuity and disaster recovery planning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the CCT certification worth getting?
Are there any prerequisites?
While there are no formal prerequisites to enrol as this is an entry-level cyber security qualification. We would recommend having a basic understanding of IT systems and networking.
How does the CEH exam work?
The CCT exam’s duration is 185 minutes. The exam consists of two sections, with the first being 50 multiple choice question and the second section including 10 hands-on practical questions.
Passing Criteria:
In order to maintain the high integrity of our certification exams, EC-Council Exams are provided in multiple forms (i.e., different question banks). Each form is carefully analyzed through beta testing with an appropriate sample group under the purview of a committee of subject matter experts that ensure that each of our exams not only have academic rigor but also have “real world” applicability. We also have a process to determine the difficulty rating of each question. The individual rating then contributes to an overall “Cut Score” for each exam form. To ensure each form has equal assessment standards, cut scores are set on a “per exam form” basis. Depending on which exam form is challenged, cut scores can range from 60% to 85%.
