What is OSEP?

OSEP stands for Offensive Security Experienced Penetration Tester. It is a certification offered by Offensive Security that focuses on assessing a penetration tester's ability to perform advanced penetration tests on mature organizations with a strong security posture. The OSEP certification is obtained by passing the OSEP exam after completing the PEN-300 course (Evasion Techniques and Breaching Defenses). It demonstrates the ability to bypass security mechanisms and compromise systems in complex environments. Common uses involve validating advanced penetration testing skills for security professionals and enhancing their capabilities in assessing and improving organizational security.
