Certified Penetration Testing Professional (C|PENT)
About this training
Certified Penetration Testing Professional (CPENT) is EC-Council's advanced penetration testing certification, focused on real-world testing methodology across complex network environments including on-premises, segmented, and cloud infrastructure. The current version of the program integrates AI-assisted techniques to improve testing efficiency and accuracy.
The certification exam is fully practical: candidates complete a demanding 24-hour hands-on challenge rather than a multiple-choice test, requiring them to demonstrate real exploitation and reporting skills against a live range. CPENT is aimed at experienced security professionals looking to validate advanced, hands-on penetration testing capability, and is available through both on-demand and live training formats.
