CompTIA PenTest+

Introduction

PenTest+ assesses the most up-to-date penetration testing, and vulnerability assessment and management skills necessary to determine the resiliency of the network against attacks.

Delegates will learn how to plan, analyse, and report on penetration tests. This course can also assist delegates who pursuing the CompTIA PenTest+ certification, as tested in exam PT0-003. The course is designed to provide content and activities that correlate to the exam objectives, and therefore can be a resource as you prepare for the examination.

PenTest+ is compliant with ISO 17024 standards and approved by the US DoD to meet directive 8140/8570.01-M requirements. Regulators and government rely on ANSI accreditation, because it provides confidence and trust in the outputs of an accredited program.

Over 2.3 million CompTIA ISO/ANSI-accredited exams have been delivered since January 1, 2011.
