DoD 8570 and CompTIA PenTest+

But the thing about those other three certs that I mentioned is that they’re all on the DoD 8570certification list, meaning that they’re approved for you to have those certifications to get a DoD [Department of Defense] clearance job or a security job in the DoD, which goes across not only DoD, but pretty much in the security field period. So with it being a counterpart to the CySA+, I believe this certification will be valuable.

Okay, so when we talk about the DoD 8570 and what’s approved for baseline certifications for you to work with in a DoD security environment, there’s a list of CompTIA certifications that are on there.

In multiple areas, the Security+ is on this list. The CASP that we mentioned before is on the list. The CySA+ is already on the list. In multiple domains within the DoD, it’s approved. So with those certifications already being approved for DoD, I don’t see a reason why the CompTIA PenTest+ won’t also make it on this list. It just hasn’t been listed publicly yet because it’s so new, just implemented in July. So this certification will be a good certification to have, I believe, not only now because of the information it provides, but also in the near future.
Certain Restrictions: No substitution or transfer of prize will be allowed. A participant who is notified that he or she has won is a potential winner until Sponsor determines, in its sole discretion, that the participant is eligible to win in accordance with these Official Rules. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with redeeming, accepting, or using a prize that is not specifically provided for herein is solely the responsibility of the applicable prize winner.

But as I mentioned before, it’s such a new certification. The first thing I recommend that you do is come over to CompTIA’s website. Link will be in the description. Take the practice exam and also get the objectives so you can have that to prepare for the exam, and then research this information, but I’m going to go ahead and tell it to you.
