Security controls can't be trusted until they're tested

The CompTIA PenTest+ certification verifies that successful candidates have the knowledge and skills required to plan and scope an assessment, understand legal and compliance requirements, perform vulnerability scanning and penetration testing, analyse data, and effectively report and communicate results.

Description

Who is this course for

Delegates looking to possess the skills, knowledge, and ability to perform penetration testing tasks on systems. PenTest+ exam also includes management skills used to plan, scope, and manage weaknesses, not just exploit them.

Purpose of the course

To build on security basics by covering various penetration tests for different technologies and network components.

You will learn how to


  • Undertake penetration testing through several coding scripts like Bash, PowerShell, Python, etc., and accumulate data from the tool

  • Conduct data accumulation and enumeration

  • Utilise networks and systems during a Pentest

  • Plan a compensive penetration test

  • Diagnose RF vulnerabilities, wireless, and physical security attacks

  • Compare and contradict diverse use cases of tools

  • Examine tool output or information concerned with a penetration test

  • Execute the post-exploitation methods

Prerequisites

Network+, Security+ or equivalent knowledge. Minimum of 3-4 years of hands-on information security or related experience. While there is no required prerequisite, PenTest+ is intended to follow CompTIA Security+ or equivalent experience and has a technical, hands-on focus.

 

Benefits for you as an individual

PenTest+ is a CompTIA qualification and as such is internationally recognised, this course can lead to further qualifications in security and is useful for a wide variety of career paths.


You will have 12 Months Access to CompTIA's CertMaster Learn, Labs & Practice, CompTIA's online knowledge assessment and certification exam practice and preparation system.

Benefits for your organisation

While having a general awareness of security and implementing various controls is great, but unless you have staff with the skill to test your security, you can't guarantee you are protected from attacks. The reports generated from Pen Tests can inform business decisions and give stakeholders peace of mind.
