Why CompTIA Pentest+?
- CompTIA PenTest+ is the most comprehensive exam covering all phases of penetration testing. Unlike penetration testing exams covering only some stages with essay questions and practice exercises, PenTest+ uses performance-based and knowledge-based questions to ensure all stages are covered.
- PenTest+ is the only exam on the market covering all vulnerability management aspects. It includes no hands-on vulnerability assessment, scanning, analysis, learning, delineating, and managing vulnerabilities, not just exploiting them.
- PenTest+ is the latest penetration testing exam covering the latest techniques for advanced attack vectors. This unique exam requires candidates to demonstrate penetration testing skills most relevant to cloud, hybrid environments, web applications, and the Internet of Things (IoT).
