The CompTIA PenTest+ course focuses on penetration testing and vulnerability assessment. It’s ideal for cybersecurity pros who identify, exploit, report, and manage system vulnerabilities.
The CompTIA PenTest+ Certification course provides the skills required to plan, scan, and perform vulnerability and penetration testing as it is both, a knowledge-based and performance-based PenTest+ exam. Since the PenTest+ course refers to the practice of testing a computer system, network or web application in finding security vulnerabilities which can be damaged by malicious cyber attacks, CompTIA PenTest+ training covers the security of all the technologies. It is the only exam available till date which covers all the vulnerability management requirements. The exam includes cloud, hybrid environment, web applications, Internet of Things (IoT), and traditional on-premises testing skills.
