KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 11 (Bernama) -- EC-Council, a global leader in applied cybersecurity education and training, has unveiled its Enterprise AI Credential Suite, introducing four new role-based artificial intelligence (AI) certifications alongside Certified CISO v4, an updated executive cyber leadership programme.
The dual launch represents the largest expansion of EC-Council’s portfolio in its 25-year history, designed to address the urgent gap between AI adoption and workforce readiness.
The initiative aligns with Singapore’s National AI Strategy 2.0, emphasising practical talent pipelines, responsible AI adoption, and robust governance. As organisations scale AI from pilots into routine operations, structured, role-specific training is critical to ensure security, accountability, and effective deployment.
“Singapore has been deliberate about scaling AI with trust, and that approach depends on practical workforce capability.
“This portfolio is designed to help professionals adopt AI responsibly, defend it under real conditions, and govern it with accountability as AI becomes part of everyday work,” said EC-Council Group President, Jay Bavisi in a statement.
The new credential suite is grounded in EC-Council’s Adopt. Defend. Govern. (ADG) framework, which equips professionals to implement AI responsibly, secure it against evolving threats, and embed governance and risk management at scale.
The four certifications include Artificial Intelligence Essentials (AIE) for foundational AI literacy, Certified AI Program Manager (CAIPM) for strategy execution, Certified Offensive AI Security Professional (COASP) for AI penetration testing and defence, and Certified Responsible AI Governance & Ethics Professional (CRAGE) for compliance and ethical oversight.
Complementing the AI credentials, Certified CISO v4 enhances executive readiness for AI-driven risk, preparing leaders to govern intelligent systems and make informed security decisions.
The launch underscores EC-Council’s commitment to closing global AI skills gaps, strengthening cybersecurity, and supporting workforce readiness in line with evolving national and international priorities.
