PenTest+ Session 5
Overview
CompTIA PenTest+ Training is for cybersecurity professionals tasked with penetration testing and vulnerability management.
The CompTIA PenTest+ will certify the successful candidate has the knowledge and skills required to plan and scope a penetration testing engagement including vulnerability scanning, understand legal and compliance requirements, analyze results, and produce a written report with remediation techniques.
Unlike other penetration testing exams that only cover a portion of stages with essay questions and hands-on, CompTIA PenTest+ uses both performance-based and knowledge-based questions to ensure all stages are addressed.
CompTIA PenTest+ is the only exam on the market covering hands-on vulnerability assessment, scanning and analysis, as well as planning, scoping, and managing weaknesses.
CompTIA PenTest+ requires a candidate to demonstrate the most relevant pen testing skills for the cloud, hybrid environments, web applications, Internet of Things (IoT) and traditional on-premises.
