Why CompTIA PenTest+? The CompTIA PenTest+ exam evaluates testing candidates in five specific domain areas: Planning and Scoping, Information Gathering and Vulnerability Scanning, Attacks and Exploits, Reporting and Communication, and Tools and Code Analysis. Successful testing candidates should ensure they have, at a minimum, the intermediary skills and on-the-job knowledge of how to conduct and execute penetration testing activities in all five domain areas, including planning and scoping a penetration test; understanding legal and compliance requirements; performing vulnerability scanning and penetration testing using appropriate tools and techniques, and then analyzing the results; and producing a written report containing proposed remediation techniques, effectively communicating the results to the management team, and providing practical recommendations. How many years of experience equate to "intermediary skills and knowledge"? That answer can vary, depending on your work and educational background. CompTIA recommends having a Network+, Security+, or equivalent background with a minimum of three to four years of hands-on experience performing penetration tests, vulnerability assessments, and code analysis.
