CompTIA PenTest+ is unique because the certification requires a candidate to demonstrate the hands-on ability and knowledge to test devices in new environments such as the cloud and mobile, in addition to traditional desktops and servers. This validation proves valuable when going after jobs that determine network resiliency against cyberattacks.These jobs include the following:
Penetration tester
Vulnerability tester
Security analyst (II)
Vulnerability assessment analyst
Network security operations
Application security vulnerability
The inclusion of CompTIA PenTest+ in Directive 8570.01-M ensures that U.S. military personnel and defense contractors have the latest cybersecurity skills needed to test systems (i.e., legally hack them), identify, manage and document the vulnerabilities they find, and help determine mitigation.
Most importantly, CompTIA PenTest+ brings hands-on, performance-based assessments into the DoD 8570 program for penetration testing and vulnerability management skills at the 3- to 4-year, intermediate level for the first time.
No other certifications in the DoD 8570 program use hands-on, performance-based testing at this skill level. It demonstrates the DoD’s need to assess the knowledge and hands-on skills required to perform common and unique work role tasks.
