Important: EC-Council retired the ECSA certification in 2021. The current, active penetration-testing certification is CPENT (Certified Penetration Testing Professional), which replaced ECSA. WebAsha recommends the CPENT program for pen-testing certification today; this page is kept for reference and skills context.

The ECSA (EC-Council Certified Security Analyst) program taught a structured penetration-testing methodology - scoping, network, web application and cloud testing, and professional reporting - as the analyst-level step between CEH and LPT.

Because EC-Council has retired ECSA and replaced it with CPENT (a hands-on, 24-hour practical exam), WebAsha Technologies in Pune now delivers the CPENT program for penetration-testing certification. This page is retained for reference on the ECSA skill set and to guide you to the current path.

Mohit Iyer

Ethical Hacker · Accenture

I recently finished the EC-Council Certified Security Analyst ECSA course at WebAsha Technologies and it was worth every minute. The course focused on ethical hacking, reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation and penetration testing in a safe lab through practical, real-world scenarios. Doubt-clearing sessions ran even after class hours, which I really appreciated. The real-world implementation examples helped me understand how things work on the job. Every topic was reinforced with practical lab assignments instead of just slides. Easily a five-star experience that prepared me for both the exam and real work.

ECSA (Retired) - Advanced Penetration Testing Skills & the CPENT Path

Important: EC-Council retired the ECSA certification in 2021. The current, active penetration-testing certification is CPENT (Certified Penetration Testing Professional), which replaced ECSA. WebAsha recommends the CPENT program for pen-testing certification today; this page is kept for reference and skills context.

The ECSA program built advanced penetration-testing methodology skills. Since it is retired, WebAsha delivers these skills - and current certification - through the CPENT program.

Training Overview:

ECSA focused on a structured penetration-testing methodology: pre-engagement and scoping, network and web application penetration testing, and professional reporting. These skills live on in CPENT, EC-Council's current, fully hands-on penetration-testing certification, which adds advanced topics such as IoT, OT/SCADA, binary exploitation and pivoting.

Intended Audience:

Security analysts and aspiring penetration testers who once targeted ECSA should now pursue CPENT. WebAsha guides you directly to the current certification.

Topics Covered:
  • Penetration-Testing Methodology: Structured, repeatable testing (now in CPENT).
  • Scoping & Pre-Engagement: Plan and scope engagements.
  • Network Penetration Testing: Test networks methodically.
  • Web Application Testing: Assess web applications.
  • Reporting: Write professional pen-test reports.
  • Current Path - CPENT: Hands-on, 24-hour practical exam.
  • Advanced CPENT Topics: IoT, OT/SCADA, binary exploitation, pivoting.
  • LPT Route: Score 90%+ on CPENT to also earn LPT (Master).
Requirements:

ECSA is retired; enrol in the CPENT program instead. Online participants need a stable internet connection and a laptop/desktop for the live labs.

Pre-Requisites:

ECSA is no longer offered. For current penetration-testing certification, CEH-level knowledge is recommended before CPENT.

Career Benefits:

Penetration-testing skills remain in strong demand. Pursue them via CPENT; in India, pen-testers typically earn ₹5 LPA to ₹26+ LPA.

Diploma GraduateEthical Hacker
I started out as a Diploma Graduate and always wanted a stronger technical career, so I enrolled in the EC-Council Certified Security Analyst ECSA program at WebAsha. The trainers were patient and genuinely industry-experienced, and the practical focus on ethical hacking, reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation and penetration testing in a safe lab made everything click. Today I proudly work as a Ethical Hacker at Hexaware, and the jump from 6 LPA to 11 LPA still feels surreal.

Enrolling in EC-Council Certified Security Analyst ECSA at WebAsha is one of the best career decisions I have made. Doubt-clearing sessions ran even after class hours, which I really appreciated. The course focused on ethical hacking, reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation and penetration testing in a safe lab through practical, real-world scenarios. The placement assistance team actively shared openings and guided me until I was placed. Flexible batch timings let me attend alongside my job without any stress. A big thank you to the trainers and team for such a rewarding learning experience.

The EC-Council Certified Security Analyst ECSA program at WebAsha genuinely lived up to its reputation. Doubt-clearing sessions ran even after class hours, which I really appreciated.

Each module built logically, and the coverage of ethical hacking, reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation and penetration testing in a safe lab was thorough and current. A big thank you to the trainers and team for such a rewarding learning experience.
