CompTia Penetration Tester+ (PTEST)

Cybersecurity, ICT Security

Security remains one of the hottest topics in IT and other industries. It seems that each week brings news of some new breach of privacy or security. As organizations scramble to protect themselves and their customers, the ability to conduct penetration testing is an emerging skill set that is becoming ever more valuable to the organizations seeking protection, and ever more lucrative for those who possess these skills. In this course, you will be introduced to some general concepts and methodologies related to pen testing, and you will work your way through a simulated pen test for a fictitious company.

This training will help you:

  • Plan, execute, and analyze penetration tests and report their results
  • Conduct passive reconnaissance for penetration testing
  • Perform non-technical tests to gather information
  • Carry out active reconnaissance
  • Analyze system vulnerabilities
  • Penetrate networks
  • Exploit host vulnerabilities
  • Test applications for security
  • Complete tasks after a successful penetration
  • Analyze and report penetration test results

This training is intended for:

  • For IT professionals who want to develop skills in penetration testing.
  • For those who want to identify vulnerabilities in information systems and effectively address them.
  • For IT administrators and architects providing recommendations to protect information systems and their content.
  • For candidates pursuing the CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-001) certification.
  • For those planning to use PenTest+ as a foundation for advanced security certifications or cybersecurity career roles.
