Threat — CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) Practice Questions

A threat is any actor, event, or circumstance with the potential to cause harm by exploiting one or more vulnerabilities. The PenTest+ exam tests your ability to model threats realistically, mapping threat actors (such as nation-states, insiders, or opportunistic attackers) to the systems being assessed. Understanding threat context helps testers scope engagements appropriately and communicate risk to stakeholders.
