Certified Penetration Tester – Best Cyber Security Institute in Kolkata

About Course

The Certified Penetration Tester (CPT) certification is a globally recognized credential that equips cybersecurity professionals with advanced skills to identify, exploit, and remediate security vulnerabilities. This certification focuses on real-world penetration testing techniques, empowering you to proactively assess and fortify organizational security.

Comprehensive Penetration Testing Process:
Understand each phase of penetration testing, including reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation, privilege escalation, maintaining access, and reporting.
Advanced Hacking Techniques:
Master techniques for exploiting networks, systems, applications, and wireless environments.
Real-World Scenarios:
Learn how to mimic real-world cyberattacks, such as social engineering, phishing, and network breaches, to expose security gaps.
Tool Mastery:
Hands-on experience with industry-standard tools like Metasploit, Burp Suite, Wireshark, Nmap, Kali Linux, and more.
Post-Exploitation and Reporting:
Learn how to document findings in professional reports that outline risks and recommended mitigations.
