Overview
Designed for experienced cybersecurity professionals, the CompTIA SecurityX Certification Prep (Exam CAS-005) course focuses on advanced security concepts essential for managing and securing complex enterprise environments also covering governance, risk management, security architecture and security operations. implementation of secure solutions across diverse infrastructures. Participants will gain expertise in automation, threat modeling, and cryptographic technologies, ensuring proactive detection and response to cybersecurity threats.

Note: From CASP+ to SecurityX
CompTIA re-branded CASP+ (short for CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner) to SecurityX with the release of exam CAS-005 in December 2024. The name change will not affect certification status of current CASP+ certification holders or continuing education (CE) program. Unexpired CASP+ exam vouchers can be used for the SecurityX exam.

CompTIA CASP+ certification exam CAS-004 retires June 17, 2025.
