Course Introduction

The Official CompTIA PenTest+ Guides (Exam PT0-001) is designed for cybersecurity practitioners who want to develop penetration testing skills to enable them to identify information-system vulnerabilities and effective remediation techniques for those vulnerabilities.

These materials focus on the knowledge, ability, and skills necessary to perform tasks on systems as well as management skills used to plan, scope, and manage weaknesses, not just exploit them, as well as prepare candidates to take the CompTIA PenTest+ certification exam.

Course Delivery Method

Our courses have flexible delivery options:

  • In-person classroom training at the Impactful training
    facilities

  • Virtual instructor-led training
  • Nationally: on-site at the client

Course Intended Audience

This course is intended for:

  • Penetration Tester
  • Vulnerability Tester
  • Security Analyst (II)
  • Vulnerability Assessment Analyst
  • Network Security Operations
  • Application Security Vulnerability

Course Prerequisites

To ensure your success in this course, you should have:

  • Intermediate knowledge of information security concepts, including but not limited to identity and access management (IAM), cryptographic concepts and implementations, computer networking concepts and implementations, and common security technologies.
  • Practical experience in securing various computing environments, including small to medium businesses, as well as enterprise environments. You can obtain this level of skills and knowledge by taking the official CompTIA® Security+® (Exam SY0-601) course or by obtaining the appropriate industry certification.

Course Objectives

As organizations scramble to protect themselves and their customers against privacy or security breaches, the ability to conduct penetration testing is an emerging skill set that is becoming ever more valuable to the organizations seeking protection, and ever more lucrative for those who possess these skills. In this course, you will be introduced to general concepts and methodologies related to pen testing, and you will work your way through a simulated pen test for a fictitious company. This course will assist you if you are pursuing the CompTIA PenTest+ certification, as tested in exam PT0-001.
