CompTIA PenTest+® Training

This course is designed for IT professionals who want to develop penetration testing skills to identify information system vulnerabilities and effective remediation techniques.

It is also suitable for individuals preparing for the CompTIA PenTest+ certification exam or those who plan to use the PenTest+ as a foundation for more advanced security certifications or career roles.

The PenTest+ training includes management skills used to plan, scope, and manage weaknesses, not just exploit them. It assesses the most up-to-date penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, and management skills necessary to determine the network's resiliency against attacks.

In addition, successful exam candidates will have the intermediate skills required to customize assessment frameworks to effectively collaborate on and report findings and communicate recommended strategies to improve IT security.

The training is available in two delivery methods: in-person and online.

The course covers planning and scoping information gathering and vulnerability scanning, attacks and exploits, reporting and communication, tools and code analysis.

To ensure success in this course, you should have intermediate knowledge of information security concepts, practical experience in securing various computing environments, and completion of the Learning Tree course 446, CompTIA Security+® Training. 

In addition, individuals seeking the certification should also have three to four years of hands-on experience performing penetration tests, vulnerability assessments, and vulnerability management.

To earn the CompTIA PenTest+ certification, you must take and pass the CompTIA PenTest+ certification exam, which is included in the tuition fee.

This course covers planning, information gathering, attacks and exploits, and reporting, all of which can help you to identify vulnerabilities.

Additionally, the course provides a simulated pen test for a fictitious company that allows you to apply what you've learned to identify and exploit vulnerabilities.

Yes, this course covers various attack vectors and how to exploit them to gain access to systems and applications. You will learn about attacks and exploits, including SQL injection and post-exploitation techniques.

Yes, this course covers testing for exploitable vulnerabilities, including vulnerability scanning and application-based attacks. In addition, you will learn to research attack vectors and perform network, wireless, and cloud technology attacks.

SQL injection is a type of attack that targets databases by injecting malicious code into SQL statements. This course covers SQL injection as part of its coverage of application-based attacks.

In addition, you will learn how to perform a script or code analysis for use in a penetration test and analyze the results of a reconnaissance exercise.

This course covers various aspects of computer systems, including computer networking concepts and implementations, standard security technologies, and cryptographic concepts and implementations.

It also covers practical experience in securing various computing environments, including small to medium businesses and enterprise environments.

Yes, this course covers various types of attacks against web applications and how to exploit vulnerabilities.

In addition, you will learn how to perform active and passive surveillance, analyze the results of a reconnaissance exercise, and analyze a script or code sample for use in a penetration test.
