CompTIA PenTest+ focuses on penetration testing, identifying vulnerabilities and developing vulnerability management skills. Our course covers the five major domains of the PenTest+ certification exam: planning and scoping, information gathering and vulnerability scanning, attacks and exploits, reporting and communication, and tools and code analysis. Our CompTIA PenTest+ course prepares IT professionals for the CompTIA PenTest+ certification exam PT0-002.
Recommended Experience: We recommend knowledge of Network+, Security+ or equivalent knowledge. Minimum of 3-4 years of hands-on information security or related experience.
After completing this course, you should be able to:
• Describe aspects of planning and elements of conducting penetration testing
• Recognize steps for vulnerability scanning and vulnerability analysis
• Identify elements of exploiting network, physical and application vulnerabilities
• Recall the importance of reporting and communication
• Define the use of scripting for penetration testing
