The CPENT training by EC-Council is a hands-on, advanced penetration testing program designed for cybersecurity professionals who want to go beyond basic testing. Unlike flat-network simulations, CPENT immerses you in real enterprise environments.
You will learn to test modern networks, IoT systems, OT/SCADA platforms, cloud services, wireless networks, and web applications. You’ll also explore exploit writing, binary analysis, double pivoting, custom scripting, and bypassing security measures like firewalls and intrusion detection systems.
