Key Insights
What is the Enterprise AI Credential Suite introduced by EC-Council?
The Enterprise AI Credential Suite is a set of four role-based AI certifications: Artificial Intelligence Essentials (baseline AI literacy), Certified AI Program Manager (AI project management), Certified Offensive AI Security Professional (AI security testing and defense), and Certified Responsible AI Governance & Ethics Professional (AI governance with NIST/ISO compliance). It is structured around the Adopt, Defend, Govern (ADG) framework to address AI adoption, security, and governance needs.[1][2][3]
What is the Adopt, Defend, Govern (ADG) framework?
The ADG framework is EC-Council's proprietary model for operationalizing AI at scale: Adopt (prepare teams for deliberate AI deployment with safeguards), Defend (secure AI against risks like prompt injection, data poisoning, and supply-chain compromise), and Govern (embed accountability, oversight, and risk management from the outset).[1][2][3]
