CompTIA PenTest+
For cybersecurity experts responsible with penetration testing and vulnerability management, there is CompTIA PenTest+
Why is it unique?
- The most thorough exam, encompassing every level of penetration testing, is CompTIA PenTest+. PenTest+ employs both performance-based and knowledge-based questions to ensure that all stages are covered, in contrast to other penetration testing tests that only cover a section of stages with essay questions and hands-on.
- The only exam on the market that covers every facet of vulnerability management is PenTest+. It encompasses planning, scoping, and controlling holes rather than just attacking them in addition to including practical vulnerability assessment, scanning, and analysis.
- The most recent penetration testing exam, PenTest+, covers the most recent methods for larger attack surfaces. It is a distinctive exam that calls for a candidate to exhibit the most pertinent pen testing abilities for traditional on-premises, cloud environments, hybrid environments, web applications, and the Internet of Things (IoT).
Regarding the test
To examine the network’s resilience to attacks, PenTest+ evaluates the most recent techniques for penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, and management. Successful candidates will be able to demonstrate that they possess the knowledge and abilities necessary to:
- Prepare a penetration testing engagement plan.
- Recognize statutory and regulatory requirements
- Utilize the proper tools and procedures to conduct vulnerability scanning and penetration testing and evaluate the results.
- Create a written report outlining suggested remediation methods, inform the management team of the findings, and offer helpful recommendations.
What Competencies Will You Gain?
Planning and Scoping
Updated methodologies that emphasise governance, risk, and compliance ideas, scoping, organisational requirements, and customer needs are also included. An ethical hacking mentality is also demonstrated.
Information Gathering and Vulnerability Scanning
Updated methodologies that emphasise governance, risk, and compliance ideas, scoping, organisational requirements, and customer needs are also included. An ethical hacking mentality is also demonstrated.
Attacks and Exploits
Includes investigating social engineering strategies, executing network attacks, wireless attacks, application-based attacks, attacks on cloud technologies, and implementing post-exploitation techniques. Updated approaches to expanding attack surfaces are also included.
Reporting and Communication
Expanded to concentrate on the value of reporting and communication in an environment with more regulations during the pen testing process by examining findings and suggesting suitable correction inside a report.
Tools and Code Analysis
Updated principles for finding scripts in different software deployments, examining a script or piece of code, and describing use cases for various tools used throughout a penetration test are all included. It’s crucial to remember that no coding or scripting is needed.
