CompTIA PenTest+ is an intermediate-level cybersecurity certification that focuses on penetration testing and vulnerability assessment. It is designed for IT professionals who have about three to four years of hands-on experience in information security or related fields. This certification is ideal for those looking to advance their careers in penetration testing by acquiring skills in planning, scoping, and managing weaknesses in systems. The CompTIA PenTest+ exam assesses skills such as passive and active reconnaissance, vulnerability analysis, network penetration, and post-exploit tasks. It includes multiple-choice questions, drag-and-drop activities, and performance-based simulations to test real-world problem-solving abilities. The certification is valid for three years and requires continuing education units (CEUs) for renewal. It is recognized for its compliance with ISO 17024 standards and is approved by the US DoD.
