CEH v13 AI is the entry-level cybersecurity credential most Hyderabad GCCs and product-tech security teams require for SOC analyst, vulnerability assessor, and AppSec L1 roles. Microsoft Hyderabad, Amazon, Oracle, Salesforce, Deloitte USI, Bank of America Hyderabad, JPMorgan Hyderabad, Wells Fargo, Genpact, every Big 4 cyber Hyderabad practice, plus the city’s pharma cyber teams and the Telangana State cyber surveillance program run CEH-on-resume as a baseline screening filter. Macksofy Trainings is an EC-Council Accredited Training Center (ATC) — our CEH v13 program ships with official iLabs access plus the EC-Council exam voucher. This page covers our 8-week CEH v13 batches at our Hyderabad Ameerpet center and online.
Course Overview — CEH v13 AI in Hyderabad
Hyderabad’s HITEC City hosts some of the world’s largest global capability centres, a major pharma and life-sciences base, and a fast-scaling fintech and SOC market — all sources of steady demand for CEH-certified ethical hackers and analysts. CEH v13 AI awards EC-Council’s Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) v13; Macksofy delivers it as a structured cohort mapped to the official certification blueprint, with mentored labs, CEH-format mock exams and Hyderabad-context case studies for ethical hackers, SOC analysts and security-operations professionals.
Why Hyderabad cybersecurity professionals need CEH v13
Hyderabad’s cyber-hiring volume is among the highest in India by absolute count, driven by GCCs scaling 24×7 SOC operations, product-tech firms running continuous AppSec programs, and pharma cyber teams staffing FDA-CSV and EU GMP compliance functions. CEH v13 is the cleanest entry credential into all three of these funnels.
Approximately 80-92% of Hyderabad cyber job postings list CEH as either required or strongly preferred for entry-level SOC, vulnerability-management, and AppSec L1 positions. CEH v13 specifically introduces AI-enabled attack and defense modules — prompt injection against LLM-integrated SaaS products, AI-assisted recon, AI-powered SOC triage — which directly map to the AI-product security work Hyderabad SaaS firms (Phenom, ServiceNow Hyderabad, Salesforce) and AI-first GCC functions are now staffing.
The cert is also the EC-Council ladder’s first step. CEH-holders progressing to CHFI (forensics), CTIA (threat intelligence), or CCISO (executive security) build a coherent career profile that Hyderabad tech HR teams parse cleanly. For candidates planning to add OSCP later, CEH provides a lower-risk entry point to validate cybersecurity career fit before committing to OSCP’s harder financial and time investment.
Practical Hyderabad salary differentiator: SOC L1 + vulnerability assessor roles post-CEH consistently sit in the INR 5-9 LPA band (Hyderabad pays parity with Bengaluru on entry-cyber medians). With 1 year of GCC SOC experience, CEH-holders move to INR 10-16 LPA L2 / threat hunter roles. Pharma cyber roles (Dr Reddy’s, Aurobindo) pay INR 6-10 LPA at entry given the OT/CSV-compliance overlay required.
CEH v13 AI Curriculum for Hyderabad Cohorts
Hyderabad cohorts connect the modules to the product-GCC, pharma and SOC scenarios common across HITEC City. The complete 20-module CEH v13 AI blueprint — including the AI track and 240+ iLabs — is identical in every Macksofy Hyderabad cohort and is maintained on our CEH v13 AI course page, so the Hyderabad schedule always reflects EC-Council’s current syllabus.

Frequently Asked Questions — CEH v13 Training in Hyderabad
Which Hyderabad employers value CEH most?
From our hiring-signal scrape across Hyderabad cyber postings: tech-major GCCs (Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Oracle, Salesforce, ServiceNow) (88-94% mention CEH), foreign-bank captives (Bank of America, JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, BNY Mellon, Goldman Sachs Hyderabad) (85-92%), Big 4 cyber delivery (Deloitte USI, EY GDS, PwC AC, KPMG GDC) (88-94%), and pharma cyber teams (Dr Reddy’s, Aurobindo, Hetero) (65-78%).
Is Macksofy an authorized CEH training partner for Hyderabad candidates?
Yes — Macksofy Trainings is an EC-Council Accredited Training Center (ATC). ATC status means we deliver official EC-Council courseware, candidates get the official iLabs + voucher, and certificates issued under our ATC carry full EC-Council recognition. Hyderabad candidates can attend either the online live cohort or the in-person batches at our Ameerpet center.
How does the classroom CEH workshop work in Hyderabad?
The 8-week cohort runs as live evening + Saturday sessions at Macksofy Trainings — Hyderabad (Ameerpet) Center — Aditya Enclave, Ameerpet — with full classroom delivery for candidates from Hyderabad / Secunderabad / Telangana / Andhra Pradesh. Online cohort candidates attend the same live sessions remotely. Both formats include official EC-Council courseware, iLabs subscription, and the CEH v13 exam voucher; both include CEH-format mock exam before the live attempt.
How much does CEH v13 cost in 2026?
Macksofy CEH v13 batches: INR 35,000 for online live cohort and INR 45,000 for the Hyderabad classroom-tier batch — both inclusive of EC-Council courseware, iLabs subscription, and the CEH v13 exam voucher. The voucher covers the exam-attempt fee at any approved EC-Council testing center. Tier-2 classroom pricing is 10% lower than Mumbai baseline.
Is Macksofy Trainings — Hyderabad (Ameerpet) Center accessible from across Hyderabad?
Yes — the venue is reached via Ameerpet Metro (Red & Blue Line interchange), with primary catchment from Ameerpet, Begumpet, Punjagutta, Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills, Madhapur, HITEC City, Gachibowli, Kondapur, Kukatpally, Secunderabad. Weekday batches run 6:30pm-9:30pm; weekend intensives 10am-5pm. The Ameerpet center is the most-connected cyber-training hub in Hyderabad.
How long is the CEH v13 batch?
Hyderabad CEH v13 batches run 8 weeks — evenings plus Saturdays — in both online and classroom formats, each covering all 20 EC-Council modules, the iLabs practice and a CEH-format mock exam before the live attempt.
Do I need IT or networking experience before CEH?
It is recommended but not mandatory for Hyderabad candidates. One to two years of IT, networking or system-administration experience helps you absorb the material faster; complete beginners often pair this with our CompTIA Network+ prep to reach the foundation Hyderabad cyber HR teams expect of a SOC L1 hire. For Hyderabad’s HITEC City and pharma candidates, that base matters most for the local security-analyst and SOC roles employers actually hire into.
What’s the difference between CEH v12 and CEH v13?
CEH v13 (released 2024) adds AI-enabled attack-and-defence modules — adversarial AI, AI-assisted recon, AI-powered SOC triage and LLM/prompt-injection security — across the curriculum, and EC-Council has retired v12, so every Hyderabad Macksofy batch is v13.

Hyderabad, CEH v13, and why local exam-focused training matters
Hyderabad’s HITEC City hosts some of the world’s largest global capability centres, a major pharma and life-sciences base, and a fast-scaling fintech and SOC market. Underpinning all of it is one requirement: security staff who can find and report weaknesses methodically. For Hyderabad candidates entering security, CEH v13 offers EC-Council’s structured, employer-recognised path across the ethical-hacking lifecycle, including its updated AI attack-and-defence content. Macksofy’s Hyderabad CEH track is built for people aiming at a VAPT associate role, not just another line on a CV.
Hyderabad candidates from HITEC City product and SOC teams favour the online live cohort, with classroom weekends near the Ameerpet training belt. Learners here usually align the twelve weeks with GCC release and on-call cycles. Sessions serve HITEC City, Gachibowli and Ameerpet, so Hyderabad learners get metro-standard CEH preparation without relocating.
CEH v13 in Hyderabad: what learners ask
Which Hyderabad employers value the CEH certification?
Hyderabad’s HITEC City global capability centres, pharma/life-sciences and a scaling SOC market form the core of local demand, and each routinely values the CEH skill set as a baseline for SOC, VAPT, incident-response and security-analyst roles.
Is CEH training in Hyderabad available in person or only online?
Both. Most Hyderabad learners take the live-online cohort, with optional in-person weekend labs around HITEC City, Gachibowli and Ameerpet — the same syllabus and CEH exam preparation either way.
What pay can Hyderabad professionals expect with CEH?
Ethical-hacking career tracks are among the better-paid tracks in Hyderabad’s IT market; exact pay depends on experience and employer tier. See current India bands — which apply to Hyderabad too — in our highest-paying cybersecurity jobs guide.
