CompTIA PenTest+ (TTCTPT00)

CompTIA PenTest+ is for cybersecurity professionals tasked with penetration testing and vulnerability management.

Course Code: TTCT360-PT0

Skill Level: Introductory

Duration: 5 Days

Course Overview

Why is it different?
• CompTIA PenTest+ is the most comprehensive exam covering all penetration testing stages. Unlike other penetration testing exams that only cover a portion of stages with essay questions and hands-on, PenTest+ uses both performance-based and knowledge-based questions to ensure all stages are addressed.
• PenTest+ is the only exam on the market to include all aspects of vulnerability management. It not only covers hands-on vulnerability assessment, scanning, and analysis, but also includes planning, scoping, and managing weaknesses, not just exploiting them.
• PenTest+ is the most current penetration testing exam covering the latest techniques against expanded attack surfaces. It is a unique exam that requires a candidate to demonstrate the most relevant pen testing skills for the cloud, hybrid environments, web applications, customized systems (IoT), and traditional on-premises.

About the exam
PenTest+ assesses the most up-to-date penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, and management skills necessary to determine the resiliency of the network against attacks. The CompTIA PenTest+ certification exam will verify successful candidates have the knowledge and skills required to:
• Plan and scope a penetration testing engagement
• Understand legal and compliance requirements
• Perform vulnerability scanning and penetration testing using appropriate tools and techniques, and then analyze the results
• Produce a written report containing proposed remediation techniques, effectively communicate results to the management team, and provide practical recommendations

The voices of our customers speak volumes

Both the instructor and the course material were very thorough - the course material has many helpful references - the labs were well laid out, making it easy to learn from and get done on time

Steve C.

Excellent detail about the Spring framework which directly relates to my role as a senior engineer. I found the content and style to be very enjoyable, and would encourage me to ask questions where previously I might not have paid much attention, eg. pom version numbers / spring starters being imported. The focus on the different styles of unit testing was also excellent and I would plan to incorporate in day to day work.

Edward K

The instructor was clearly knowledgeable about Java and programming in general. He was very attentive to every student's individual needs and constantly encouraged questions, concerns, student issues to be raised and addressed each one thoroughly.

Mark M

Instructor was beyond phenomenal. He had an in depth knowledge of the course material and always ensured that everyone understood what was being discussed. I really enjoyed the mix of theory and practical examples of each part of the course.

Cillian M

First time in my life I have attended remote class and I find it great. Personally I don't feel there is any area which require improvement!

Rishi M

A very good balance of teaching time to lab time. I've done other courses that I found to be much lighter on content and heavy on labs to waste time. This was a refreshing change of pace.

Adam G

Great job overall. Great communicator and explained complex concepts in a simple, easier to understand format.

Jeremy G

Excellent training. Even though it was online, I did not have any issues understanding or getting the answers for the questions I had. The lab exercises are interesting to apply what was learnt. Overall very good training. Thank you!

Anitha

Best programming class I've ever been in, head and shoulders above any thing I took in college as part of a computer science degree. The instructor was thorough and very detailed, he was very good abut explaining all possible scenarios a situation would apply to. The way the albs were structured and the class was conducted was very good for interaction and hand on learning.
