It doesn’t change anything about candidates or the courseware (but surely questions NSA’s vetting process). It just means that EC-Council’s marketing works better than many others and now they have something they can show around and say “look how cool we are”.

its simple… they are requiring CEH to do just about anything IA related for .gov/.mil. i’d expect to see it in the updated 8570 whenever that comes out.
to justify it, they are certifying it
I understand the reasoning from the government side, but it still raises the question of why pick the EC-Council to train their workers in information security (management and technical). I can think of a number of better companies to offer this service that would actually make people respect the knowledge learned for these jobs.
Still, as you said, it’s .gov/.mil, so who knows what they’re thinking. I just hope that the US Cyber Defense doesn’t consist of people purely with CEH qualifications. That would be bad for everybody involved.
