CCT Certification
The CCT Certification, officially known as Certified Cybersecurity Technician (C|CT), is an entry-level certification from EC-Council. It is made for people who want to start in cybersecurity or move from a general IT role into security.
CCT covers threats, security controls, network monitoring, incident response, forensics, cloud security, risk, and business continuity.
The official program has 22 modules and 85 hands-on labs. EC-Council states that 50% of the training is practical and uses a live cyber range.
Among entry level cybersecurity certifications, CCT is a useful choice for candidates who want broad technical coverage instead of theory alone.
