Résumé du cours
In this course, you'll get the skills you need to identify, exploit, report, and manage vulnerabilities on a network.
This course builds upon skills learnt from CompTIA Security+ certification and provides you with the intermediate skills and best practice for penetration testing.
Your expert instructor will teach you up-to-date penetration testing skills, helping you develop vulnerability assessment techniques and the management skills necessary to determine how resilient a network is to attacks.
A qui s'adresse cette formation
If you're an intermediate level cyber security professional tasked with penetration testing, this course is ideal for you.
Pré-requis
Before attending this course, you should have:
- Network+, Security+ or equivalent knowledge
- A minimum of 2-3 years of hands-on information security or related experience
Objectifs
You'll learn to:
- customise assessment frameworks
- report penetration test findings
- communicate recommended strategies
On this course, you'll prepare for the CompTIA PenTest+ exam The performance-based PenTest+ exam involves hands-on simulations, proving you've moved beyond theory and have the practical skills to carry out penetration testing techniques.
Achieving this certification qualifies you for a role as a:
- Penetration Tester
- Vulnerability Tester
- Security Analyst (II)
- Vulnerability Assessment Analyst
- Network Security Operations
- Application Security Vulnerability
