Re: Licensed Penetration Tester LPT

[Richard Van Luvender <rvanluve () comcast net>]

Correct. Do not confuse the certification "Licensed Penetration Tester" with
a government recognized licensure program. However the potential exists for
someone in the proper position to take an existing certification program,
and submit it for consideration as a sanctioned license to conduct forensic
investigations. The credential must have several components, minimum
requirements of eligibility, an exam that can validly evaluate the
candidates knowledge and skill, a practical component to obtaining the
certification, a code of conduct, and a continuing education requirement.
