CREST Registered Penetration Tester (CRT)

On this immersive CREST Registered Penetration Tester (CRT) course, you'll advance your skills to penetrate computer systems or networks effectively and professionally—using realistic threat techniques—to evaluate their security and detect potential vulnerabilities, and protect your business from attacks.

• Evaluate host-based security products and how those products reduce vulnerability to exploitation
• Carry out attack and defense operations for the purpose of exercises and vulnerability assessment and detection
• Demonstrate effective use of current tools and techniques used by industry-qualified cyber security penetration testers

Through Firebrand's Lecture | Lab | Review methodology, you'll get access to official courseware, learn from certified instructors, and train in a distraction-free environment.
