Tampa, Florida, March 18th, 2024: EC-Council, a global leader in cybersecurity education and training, and the inventor of Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH) announces the winners of the February 2024 C|EH Compete Challenge. EC-Council’s C|EH compete Challenge is designed to showcase the talents of top ethical hackers, focused on mobile attack and hacking techniques, drawing participation from skilled professionals worldwide.
The challenge centered around a fictitious e-commerce company named “SecureShop,” which sought assistance in auditing its web application for potential vulnerabilities. Participants were tasked with conducting a thorough assessment based on the OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) Top Ten vulnerabilities, simulating real-world scenarios encountered by penetration testers and security professionals.
Amid the pandemic, organizations’ adoption of new methods to access networks via private devices, often without multi-factor authentication (MFA), has resulted in a surge of successful cyberattacks and substantial insurance claims. Against this backdrop, C|EH Compete emerges as a critical platform for professionals to refine their skills and confront the evolving challenges of mobile security head-on.
The participants demonstrated exceptional skill and strategic thinking, vying for coveted positions within the top 10 on the leaderboard. Following an intense competition, Sumit Khobragade emerged victorious, hailing from India, closely followed by Gabriel Armando Rodriguez Medina from Peru and Ruben Anthony Ricapa Corrales from Peru too, securing second and third places, respectively.
