Course Description

Certified Penetration Testing Engineer certification Cybersecurity Training Course is built firmly upon proven, hands-on, Penetration Testing methodologies utilized by our international group of vulnerability consultants.

The CPTE presents information based on the 5 Key Elements of Pen Testing; Information Gathering, Scanning, Enumeration, Exploitation and Reporting. The latest vulnerabilities will be discovered using these tried and true techniques. This Cybersecurity Training Course also enhances the business skills needed to identify protection opportunities, justify testing activities and optimize security controls to reduce risk associated to working with the internet. Besides utilizing ethical hacking methodologies, be prepared to learn penetration testing using advanced persistent threat techniques.

The CPTE was developed around principles and behaviors used to combat malicious hackers and focuses on professional penetration testing rather than ethical hacking. With this in mind, the CPTE certification Cybersecurity Training Course is an up-grade to the EC-Council CEH!
