Description
The CompTIA PenTest+ certification requires a candidate to demonstrate the hands-on ability and knowledge to test devices in new environments such as the cloud and mobile, in addition to traditional desktops and servers. PenTest+ assesses the most up-to-date penetration testing, vulnerability assessment and management skills necessary to determine the resiliency of a network against attacks.
PenTest+ covers network security, compliance and operation security, threats and vulnerabilities, application, data and host security, access control, identity management, and cryptography.
After you complete this course, you will be able to plan, conduct, analyze, and report on penetration tests.
You will:
- Plan and scope penetration tests.
- Conduct passive reconnaissance.
- Perform non-technical tests to gather information.
- Conduct active reconnaissance.
- Analyze vulnerabilities.
- Penetrate networks.
- Exploit host-based vulnerabilities.
- Test applications.
- Complete post-exploit tasks.
- Analyze and report pen test results.
While there are no required prerequisites, PenTest+ is intended to follow CompTIA Security+ or equivalent experience and has a
technical, hands-on focus. A minimum of 3-4 years of hands-on information security or related experience is recommended.
Out PenTest+ Course includes one (1) CompTIA PenTest+ PT1-001 Exam Voucher. Voucher is valid for 12 months after the course at a Pearson VUE testing center.
