CompTIA PenTest+

Overview

The CompTIA PenTest+ is an instructor-led, hands-on certification training course. This course covers all exam topics, including planning and defining a security penetration testing (ethical hacking) assessment, understanding legal and compliance requirements, as well as vulnerability scanning and penetration testing using appropriate tools and techniques. In addition, it provides participants with guidance on how to analyse the results and write a comprehensive report, including remediation techniques and best practices on how to effectively communicate the results to relevant stakeholders.

Companies conduct a large part of their activities virtually. This includes moving and storing information, monitoring teams remotely, and ensuring clear lines of communication between different stakeholders. For an organisation to operate efficiently and effectively, all digital activities must be safe and secure. CompTIA Pentest+ participants are able to rigorously assess potential areas that could be easily exploited by cyber threats or attacks. Participants wishing to demonstrate or validate their penetration testing skills should consider completing this certification.

This certification training course is available in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Australia and Live Virtually.
