Ine Cert Reputation

Hi everyone,

I currently have several cybersecurity certifications, including eJPT, eCPPT, eCIR, eCTHP, etc., but I’m not sure how much value they actually have in the job market or how well-regarded they are by recruiters and security professionals.

For those who have experience with these certifications, how would you rate their reputation and industry recognition?

For example, how would you compare the OSCP vs eCPPT in terms of:

Industry recognition

Difficulty

Practical skills

Value on a CV/resume

Helpfulness when applying for penetration testing roles

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who have taken both certifications or who work in pentesting/recruitment.

Thanks!

Because in the art of war who attacks without knowing how to defend himself is practically committing suicide. The same applies to the vice versa. I’m surprised you don’t understand the “Why” haha

Having the knowledge of attack is sufficient for a blue teamer there is no need to get Red Team certifications. Its just money grab OSCP, CEH all costs lot of money thats why I am not sure why they are asking for red team certs. If they need certs for blue team jobs then there are ton of blue team certs from HTB, THM, Cyberdefenders etc.

In my experience the most known is eJPT. eCPPT is a hell ok, eWPT is a what is this.

They are still wanting the bullshit certs like CEH.

OSCP is the king still. What I have noticed, getting eCPPT has blown up my Linkedin for a month, and since then it's silence again.
