Updated exam validates abilities to identify, mitigate and report cyber weaknesses before they can be exploited

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Dec. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Cybersecurity professionals looking to enhance their penetration testing expertise can validate their skills with the newly updated CompTIA PenTest+ certification. The certification prepares professionals for success in intermediate-level cybersecurity roles, positioning them as competitive candidates in a growing job market.

“Penetration testing is among the most impactful steps a company can take to strengthen its cybersecurity readiness.”

Developed by the global leader in IT certifications and training, CompTIA PenTest+ is the only penetration testing certification in the market that covers artificial intelligence (AI), hands-on inventory, scanning and analysis, attacks, and lateral movement, as well as planning, scoping, and vulnerability management.

“Information security threats are rising and getting more sophisticated due to AI, leaving organizations increasingly concerned over the lack of adequately trained IT security staff,” said Thomas Reilly, chief product officer, CompTIA. “That’s why a growing number of organizations are investing in training and certifications for their cybersecurity staffs.”

According to CompTIA’s “State of Cybersecurity 2025” report, 56% of firms plan to invest in training for their cybersecurity workforce and 42% intend to offer cybersecurity certifications to establish core concepts and extend skillsets into emerging focus areas.

“Penetration testing is among the most impactful steps a company can take to strengthen its cybersecurity readiness,” Reilly said. “It increases their ability to fight the growing landscape of cyber threats, attacks and vulnerabilities, and contributes to ensuring regulatory compliance.”

Cybersecurity professionals who become CompTIA PenTest+ certified have validated their knowledge and skills in penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, mitigation, reporting and other responsibilities that proactively protect cybersecurity resources.

Diverse subject matter experts representing a broad cross-section of employers and industries, including finance, government, healthcare, insurance and technology, contributed to the development of the new exam. The exam includes performance-based and knowledge-based questions to ensure all stages of penetration testing are mastered for all attack surfaces, including the cloud, web apps, APIs, IoT, on premise and hybrid network environments.

A comprehensive suite of CertMaster learning resources that emphasize hands-on learning of the job tasks necessary to be successful in a penetration tester job role will accompany the release of the updated CompTIA PenTest+ exam. Available in early 2025, the CertMaster product suite will offer instructional content, videos, performance-based questions, skills assessments, simulated labs, and more to learn concepts and build pentesting skills.

Among the newest features is access to a hackable web site that provides live targets and vulnerabilities for students to identify and mitigate real-world threats, including misconfigured directory service, customer and commerce databases, shopping carts, and much more. CompTIA created a collection of PenTest+ virtual machine live labs around the hackable web site to provide real on-the-job pentesting skills.

Taboola Investigation Notice: SueWallSt Notifies Investors of Pending Investigation Into Taboola (TBLA)

Published

1 hour ago

August 6, 2026

Taboola told investors its quarter was strong and raised its full-year ex-TAC gross profit outlook. The same release cut 2026 revenue and non-GAAP net income guidance — and the stock fell.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Taboola.com Ltd. (NASDAQ: TBLA) shares declined on August 5, 2026, after the Company guided full-year 2026 revenue to $1.930-$1.956 billion — as much as $110 million, or 5.4%, below the $2.04 billion FactSet consensus. If you lost money holding TBLA, you are encouraged to submit your TBLA loss information now. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. via email at jlevi@SueWallSt.com or by telephone at (888) SueWallSt.

The August 5 announcement was headlined “Taboola Reports Strong Q2 2026 Financial Results, & Raises Full-Year ex-TAC Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA guidance.” Inside the same release, the company’s updated guidance revealed it had negatively revised revenue and non-GAAP net income projections for fiscal year 2026. This followed a raise in revenue guidance following Taboola’s Q1 results. Revenue guidance for fiscal year 2026 has shifted from $1.993-$2.054 billion on February 25, 2026, up to $2.006-$2.062 billion on May 6, 2026, and now down to $1.930-$1.956 billion on August 5, 2026.

SueWallSt notifies investors of a pending investigation into potential securities law violations at Taboola on behalf of investors who suffered losses. The investigation concerns whether the Company’s public statements were consistent with the revenue trajectory reflected in its August 5, 2026 outlook.
