New Course: CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002)

In this 217-video, intermediate-level training, Bob Salmans, Ben Finkel, and Shawn Powers cover the knowledge IT professionals need to plan and perform penetration tests and vulnerability scans, then analyze the results, decide on fixes and communicate them to team members.

Watch this new CompTIA Security training.

Penetration tests and vulnerability scans are two of the most important parts of keeping a network safe and secure. This PenTest+ training prepares security and IT personnel for everything they need to know to prepare for a penetration test, and then actually do it. But just being able to do a penetration test is only half the work — this PenTest+ training also explains how to analyze the results and come up with solutions to prevent hostile actors in the future. And all the while, you’ll be preparing for the CompTIA certification exam.

The 33-part series covers topics such as planning all the inputs and parameters for a successful penetration test, staying compliant with legal and company requirements, and performing vulnerability scans and penetration tests with the right tools and techniques.
