Background

On Tuesday 16th November 2021, at its AGM, CREST ANZ announced the launch of its new Accredited Best of Breed Penetration Tester (ABPT) program.

CREST ANZ has responded to the 2020 National Cyber Security Strategy's call for a more holistic, multi-dimensional approach to accreditation based on skills, experience, qualifications, professionalism and trust.

The ABPT program accredits individual penetration testers (employees and contractors) against Technical Competency, Professional Competency and Trust Standards that have been developed and defined by CREST ANZ members. The program is open to individual penetration testers from both member and non-member companies (non-member pricing applies).
