Foundations of Physical Penetration Testing
While organizations often focus on protecting digital assets, physical vulnerabilities can provide attackers with direct access to sensitive systems, data, and infrastructure. In this course, you'll learn the fundamentals of planning and conducting physical penetration tests, also known as physical pen testing, while discovering how these assessments help organizations uncover vulnerabilities before attackers do.
Course Content
Foundations of Physical Penetration Testing introduces the principles, methodologies, and ethical considerations behind physical security testing and assessing an organization's physical security posture. You'll explore how physical penetration tests are planned, executed, and documented while gaining an understanding of common weaknesses found in offices, data centers, and other facilities.
Through practical examples and real-world scenarios, you'll examine reconnaissance techniques, access control assessments, social engineering considerations, lock and entry concepts, and facility security evaluations - the core disciplines of physical pentesting. By the end of the course, you'll understand how physical penetration testing complements traditional cybersecurity assessments and helps organizations identify risks before malicious actors can exploit them.
