Executing proper cleanup and restoration activities after penetration testing (pen testing) is critical for ensuring that the systems and networks return to a secure and functional state. In this course, you will explore why it is necessary to remove persistence mechanisms, revert changes, and remove user accounts and credentials during post-engagement cleanup. Next, you will discover the importance of removing tools during the cleanup and restoration phase and spinning down infrastructure and resources upon completing testing activities. Finally, you will learn how to ensure the preservation of evidence and the importance of securely destroying data during post-exploitation activities. This course is one of a collection that helps prepare learners for the CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-003) certification exam.
