Description

The quality of a penetration test report can often determine just how effective the remediation effort is, it’s important to get it right! This course will teach you how to create a report that will both stand up to scrutiny and help the customer.

What You'll Learn?

Penetration testing brings together various technical skills. Producing a report at the end of a test, however, requires some very different abilities. In this course, Pen Testing: Reporting, you’ll learn to produce a report that details the results of a penetration test in a digestible format, conveying all of the information a customer needs to remediate their vulnerabilities. First, you’ll discover the details you should put into each vulnerability within the report. Next, you’ll explore the key areas of a report and why they should be there. Finally, you’ll learn how to streamline the reporting process, so you can spend less time reporting and more time performing the test itself. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have all of the reporting skills and knowledge you need to produce a valuable penetration test report.
