Certified Penetration Tester (CPT)

Certified Penetration Tester (CPT)

A penetration test subjects a system or a range of systems to real-life security tests. The benefit of a complete penetration suite compared to a normal vulnerability scan system is to reach beyond a vulnerability scan test and discover different weaknesses and perform a much more detailed analysis. The user can perform specified attacks in high detail depending on his specific choices and needs. This is normally done via the many advanced techniques and utilities of a security consultant.
