Comptia Pentest+

CompTIA PenTest+ Certification


Origin


CompTIA PenTest+ was created by the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA), a non-profit trade association established in 1982 that develops vendor-neutral IT certifications. The PenTest+ certification was launched in 2018 to address the growing need for standardized skills validation in offensive security and penetration testing. CompTIA developed this certification in response to the increasing demand for qualified penetration testers and the lack of intermediate-level certifications that bridge the gap between foundational security knowledge and advanced ethical hacking skills. The certification was designed with input from cybersecurity professionals and industry experts to ensure it reflected real-world penetration testing practices and methodologies.


Industry Value and Importance


PenTest+ is valued in the penetration testing and cybersecurity industry because it validates hands-on technical skills in planning, scoping, and conducting penetration tests, as well as analyzing results and producing actionable reports. Unlike purely theoretical certifications, PenTest+ emphasizes practical abilities including vulnerability assessment, exploitation techniques, and post-exploitation activities across various systems and networks. Many organizations and government agencies recognize PenTest+ as meeting compliance requirements, with the certification approved under the DoD 8570.01-M directive for certain information assurance roles. Penetration testing companies value team members with PenTest+ certification because it demonstrates a standardized baseline of competency, helps establish credibility with clients, and shows commitment to professional development in offensive security practices.
