CompTIA PenTest+ Certification Course
OVERVIEW OF COMPTIA PENTEST+ CERTIFICATION COURSE
CompTIA PenTest+ Certification is a course based on Penetration testing, management skills and ability to get hands-on experience in environments such as cloud, desktop and servers. The course covers the vulnerability assessment management and penetration testing from a Business value. Comptia Pentest+ training assesses the most up-to-date penetration testing, and vulnerability assessment and management skills necessary to determine the resiliency of the network against attacks. Successful candidates who attain the CompTIA PenTest+ Certification course will have the intermediate skills required to customize assessment frameworks to effectively collaborate on and report findings.
Candidates will also have the best practices to communicate recommended strategies to improve the overall state of IT security. CompTIA PenTest+ Certification meets the ISO 17024 standard. Regulators and government rely on ANSI accreditation because it provides confidence and trust in the outputs of an accredited program. Over 2.3 million CompTIA ISO/ANSI-accredited exams have been delivered since January 1, 2011.
CompTIA Pentest+ exam is for cybersecurity experts with intermediate skills. They are responsible for doing practical penetration testing to recognize, report, and supervise vulnerabilities on a network.

EXAMINATION & CERTIFICATION
CompTIA PenTest+ is the most comprehensive exam covering all penetration testing stages. Unlike other penetration testing exams that only cover a portion of stages with essay questions and hands-on, PenTest+ uses both performance-based and knowledge-based questions to ensure all stages are addressed.
PenTest+ is the only exam on the market to include all aspects of vulnerability management. It not only covers hands-on vulnerability assessment, scanning, and analysis, but also includes planning, scoping, and managing weaknesses, not just exploiting them.
A Comptia Pentest+ training is essential as PenTest+ is the most current penetration testing exam covering the latest techniques against expanded attack surfaces. It is a unique exam that requires a candidate to demonstrate the most relevant pen testing skills for the cloud, hybrid environments, web applications, customized systems (IoT), and traditional on-premises.
