CPENT: Certified Penetration Testing Professional
The Certified Penetration Tester (CPENT) program by EC-Council provides comprehensive training on conducting successful penetration tests in enterprise network environments. This program equips you with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively attack, exploit, evade, and defend against security vulnerabilities.
If you have primarily worked with flat networks, CPENT's live practice range takes your abilities to the next level. It offers hands-on experience and instruction in penetration testing of IoT systems, OT systems, developing personalized exploits, creating custom tools, advanced binaries exploitation, employing double pivot techniques to access hidden networks, and adapting scripts/exploits to infiltrate the most secure segments of a network.
