Overview
The CompTIA PenTest+ certification is designed for cybersecurity professionals who specialize in penetration testing and security consulting. This certification ensures candidates have the skills to plan, scope, and execute penetration tests across multiple environments, including cloud, web applications, and IoT. With performance-based questions, it provides hands-on verification of candidates’ competencies, covering modern penetration techniques, vulnerability analysis, and ethical hacking principles.
Objectives
Upon completion of the CompTIA PenTest+ course, participants will be able to:
Prerequisites
- Network+ or Security+ certification (recommended).
- 3-4 years of hands-on experience in cybersecurity or a related field.
- Familiarity with scripting languages for reconnaissance and enumeration (though coding is not mandatory).
- Understanding of compliance frameworks such as HIPAA and GDPR.
- Knowledge of basic penetration testing concepts, including vulnerability analysis and threat management.
