Penetration Tester Plus - PenTest+
Class Overview
Global cybercrime costs are expected to grow 15% over the next five years. Now more than ever, it is imperative that organizations prevent sensitive data from falling into the wrong hands.
CompTIA’s Penetration Tester Plus
(commonly known as PenTest+) training introduces you to the knowledge and skills needed to understand how to plan and scope a penetration testing engagement, including vulnerability scanning, understanding legal and compliance requirements, analyzing results, and producing a written report with remediation suggestions. It will enhance your abilities to use penetration testing to identify, exploit, report, and manage vulnerabilities on a network.
This training addresses newer pen testing techniques for the latest attack surfaces, including the cloud, hybrid environments, and web applications, as well as more ethical hacking concepts, vulnerability scanning, and code analysis.
PenTest+ is compliant with ISO 17024 standards and approved by the US DoD to meet directive M/8140 - 8570.01 requirements.
PenTest+ is approved by DoD 8140 for the following work roles:
121 - Exploitation analyst
212 - Cyber defense forensics analyst
