As more businesses move their operations and processes to the digital realm, the risks associated with this technological adoption are increasing. Hackers exploiting a vulnerability in your IT infrastructure after they acquire unauthorized access to it is one of the primary threats.

As a result, businesses require professionals that can comprehend the attacker's perspective, tools, and strategies and assist them in defending against these risks. For this reason, demand for Penetration Testers and Ethical Hackers has increased significantly. They do penetration testing to find flaws that a malicious attacker could exploit. They assist employees in learning how to deal with any form of harmful entity break-in.

CompTIA PenTest+ is a vendor-neutral intermediate-level certification that verifies your hands-on ability to conduct penetration testing.

In this article, we will cover domain 1 of CompTIA PenTest+, which is “Planning and Scoping.”
