Description
CompTIA PenTest+ is for cybersecurity professionals tasked with penetration testing and vulnerability management.
You can choose between 5-days course with instructor or a year access to e-Learning.
The Official CompTIA PenTest+ course is designed for cybersecurity practitioners who want to develop penetration testing skills to enable them to identify information-system vulnerabilities and effective remediation techniques for those vulnerabilities. These materials focus on the knowledge, ability, and skills necessary to perform tasks on systems as well as management skills used to plan, scope, and manage weaknesses, not just exploit them, as well as prepare candidates to take the CompTIA PenTest+ certification exam.
Goals
As organizations scramble to protect themselves and their customers against privacy or security breaches, 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 general concepts and methodologies related to pen testing, and you will work your way through a simulated pen test for a fictitious companyTarget
