| Feature | CISA | CEH |
|---|---|---|
| Role | Auditor | Ethical Hacker |
| Purpose | Verify system security | Discover and report vulnerabilities |
| Audience | Auditors, compliance pros | Security experts, penetration testers |
| Exam | 150 questions – Audit-focused | 125 questions – Technical-focused |
| Technical Depth | Moderate | High |
| Real-Life Example | Zeynep reviews security logs | Ahmet legally hacks firewall |
Zeynep works in a corporate audit team. She finds anomalies in server logs, creates a report, and informs top management. The company avoids a huge fine. The CEO says: “You are the digital conscience of this firm.”
Ahmet runs a penetration test at a fintech firm. He tries “admin123” as the password — and it works!
He reports it, no harm done. Security team fixes it immediately. Standing ovation.
