CompTIA PenTest+ Certification Prep (AA-PenTest+)

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 PT0-002.

This course includes an exam voucher.
