C)PTE — Certified Penetration Testing Engineer
Mile2's penetration testing certification with NSA validation for CNSSI-4013 and Navy COOL listing. Full DoD 8140 matrix approval status is unconfirmed. Purely MCQ exam with no practical component — labs are part of training only. Very limited visibility outside US government and military contexts. Not widely recognized in the commercial practitioner community. Most relevant for specific government contracting vehicles that reference Mile2 certifications, or for Navy COOL-based education benefit usage.
