What Are the Differences Between CEH v10 and v13?

Introduction

CEH v10 was released in 2018 and is now completely outdated. v13 (launched 2024) is the current official version with 100% revamped syllabus focusing on 2025 threats — cloud, IoT, OT, AI/ML, blockchain. Companies in India now prefer v13 certified candidates because it proves modern skills. At Ethical Hacking Training Institute we stopped teaching v10 years ago — we only deliver latest v13 with 500+ live cloud/IoT/OT targets and 100% placement record.
