CompTIA has recently launched a training and certification programme — CompTIA PenTest + (Penetration Testers), to meet the rising demand for professional cyber security Penetration Testers in India.The CompTIA Pentest + complements its already existing CySA+ course which covers defensive security strategies.
The exam contains both multiple-choice and performance-based questions employing hands-on simulations thus validating hands-on penetration testing skills. The interested candidates to take CompTIA Pentest+ certification can either undergo a 40 hour instructor led training program offered by a network of authorised partners spread across the country or can also select self-paced online learning option. It is also recommended that prospective candidates should have three to four years of hands-on experience performing penetration tests, vulnerability assessments, and vulnerability management.
CompTIA Penetration Testing training is available on both self paced as well as Instructor led programmes. For candidates who would want to study and prepare for the exam on their own, CompTIA will be launching Official CompTIA Content which has electronic and hard copy book as well as optional labs on demand for practicing the concepts.
