CompTIA PenTest+ is for cybersecurity professionals tasked with penetration testing and vulnerability management.
Take Your Penetration Testing Knowledge To the Next Level
CompTIA PenTest+ is the
most comprehensive exam covering all penetration testing stages.
Demonstrate Competency of Current Trends.
Unlike other penetration testing exams that only cover a portion of stages with essay questions and hands-on, CompTIA PenTest+ uses both performance-based and knowledge-based questions to ensure all stages are addressed.
Become an Expert in Vulnerability Management. CompTIA PenTest+ is the only exam on the market
covering hands-on vulnerability assessment, scanning and analysis,
as well as planning, scoping, and managing weaknesses.
Prove You Know the Latest Techniques. CompTIA PenTest+ requires a candidate to demonstrate the most relevant pen testing skills for the
cloud, hybrid environments, web applications, Internet of Things (IoT)
and traditional on-premises.
CompTIA PenTest+ proves certified professionals have the most up to date penetration testing and vulnerability assessment skills.
