No, AI won’t replace ethical hackers, but it will change how they work.

AI can automate routine tasks like scanning and threat detection, but ethical hackers use creativity, context, and critical thinking to outsmart real attackers; something AI alone can’t do. In fact, many ethical hackers now use AI as a tool to enhance their work, not replace it.

The average salary of ethical hackers ranges from $70,000 to $120,000 per year. Entry-level roles start around $60K, while experienced professionals and certified experts (like CEH holders) can earn $100K+, depending on location, industry, and skill set. In high-demand regions or government roles, salaries can go even higher.

CEHv13 builds on v12 by integrating AI-powered tools across all five ethical hacking phases, enhancing hands-on learning with over 221 labs, CTF challenges, and a focus on cloud, IoT, and modern attack vectors, while maintaining the same 20-module structure. 

Our ethical hacking training is aligned with the latest CEH version 13. It helps you learn the latest tools and techniques in a practical, guided format. Ultimately, it develops a strategic and problem-solving mindset that will give you a competitive edge in interviews and jobs. 

 

A clear path looks like: 

  • Build foundational security knowledge - start with certifications like Security+ or Network+.
  • Gain practical experience in networking, system administration, or IT support. 
  • Pursue CEH (or PenTest+) - train with our interactive courses and hands-on labs to explore test-taking strategies, cover all exam objectives, and pass the multi-choice exam. 
  • Gain hands-on practice via labs or CTFs.
  • Advance further by pursuing higher-level certifications like OSCP.
