LPT Master — Licensed Penetration Tester (Master)
EC-Council's elite designation awarded automatically when a CPENT AI candidate scores 90% or higher — no separate exam, no additional cost. Represents the top tier of CPENT performance rather than a distinct certification. Recognition in the practitioner community is limited compared to OffSec elite certs like OSCE³ or OSEE. Its value is primarily as a differentiator within the EC-Council ecosystem and in markets where EC-Council credentials are widely recognized. If you're already sitting the CPENT exam, there's no reason not to aim for the LPT Master threshold.
