CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002)   is for cybersecurity experts tasked with penetration testing and vulnerability management.

The CompTIA PenTest+ exam is the most comprehensive, covering all elements of penetration testing. Unlike other penetration testing tests that just cover a portion of phases with article questions, PenTest+ employs both performance-based and knowledge-based questions to guarantee all stages are covered. The only test that covers all aspects of vulnerability management is PenTest+. It includes not only vulnerability evaluation, scanning, and analysis, but also planning, scoping, and managing vulnerabilities, rather than merely exploiting them. PenTest+ is the most recent penetration testing exam, including the most up-to-date strategies for dealing with large attack surfaces. The most applicable pen-testing proficiency for the cloud, hybrid environments, online apps, Internet of Things (IoT), and conventional on-premises is required for this unique exam.

The new CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) exam launched on October 28, 2021!

PenTest+ is obedient to ISO 17024 standards and approved by the US DoD to meet directive 8140/8570.01-M requirements. Regulators and governments depend on ANSI accreditation because it provides confidence and trust in the outputs of an accredited program.
