COURSE OVERVIEW
This course is designed to take an individual with knowledge of the basic security auditing toolset to the next and higher level. Many courses teach “how to hack”; the CPTE course teaches “the business of penetration testing”.
The course delivers advanced and cutting edge techniques for auditing a broad range of security controls (including Physical and User Security) with “hands-on” laboratories designed by real world security auditors. The CPTE course also delivers the “business side” of penetration testing, including RFPs, Authorization, Security Policy Review and Compliance. The CPTE courseware is constantly updated (with updates available to past students) to reflect the most current security issues and known exploits; this is the way of the Certified Penetration Testing Expert.
Each day ends with a Capture the Flag Competition to ensure that participants retain the daily objectives.
BENEFITS OF CPTE COURSE
The CPTE course provides attendees with the unique opportunity to perform all stages of an actual penetration test within a controlled classroom environment. Hands-on laboratories have been researched and developed by leading security professionals from around the world and are continuously updated.
The CPTE will cover much more in-depth attacks, techniques, technologies and countermeasures than foundation Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking courses such as CPTS, CEH and OSPT. Participants of the CPTE course will have the ability to complete laboratories in all of the following areas:
• Perform a penetration test and submit a deliverable report
• Capture and replay VoIP traffic
• Find and exploit databases with SQL Injection vulnerabilities
• Manipulate prices on e-commerce websites
• Obtain and transfer information via Bluetooth enabled telephones
• Tools and resources for picking simple and complex locks
• Techniques for Wireless Site Surveying and Cracking WEP/WPA keys
• Additionally, attendees will be qualified to confidently undertake the upcoming CPTE practical examination.
UPON COMPLETION
A Certified Penetration Testing Expert is a security professional with the ability to plan, manage and perform a penetration test. The designation “Expert” is related to the depth and breadth of understanding required to manage a project involving multiple team members, manage the client’s expectations and deliver an audit of security controls that is thorough, well documented and ethically sound.
