CompTIA PenTest+ PT0-001 is unique because our certification requires a candidate to demonstrate the hands-on ability and knowledge to test devices in new environments such as the cloud and mobile, in addition to traditional desktops and servers.

1.   Take and pass the CompTIA Pentest+ (PT0-001) certification exam

2.   Understand the penetration testing methodology

3.   Understand how to plan and scope a penetration test

4.   Understand how to conduct information gathering and enumeration

5.   Understand how to exploit networks and systems during a pentest

6.   Understand how to prepare a report and communicate your findings

About the exam 

• CompTIA PenTest+ PT0-001 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 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
