COURSE OVERVIEW

SecurityX is an advanced cybersecurity certification for security architects and senior security engineers. It proves you have the skills to design, build, and implement secure solutions across complex environments. You’ll also show you can support a resilient enterprise while addressing governance, risk, and compliance needs.

CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+) will be re-branded to SecurityX with the release of the next exam version CAS-005 on December 17, 2024. The name change emphasizes the advanced, or “Xpert” level certifications in the CompTIA portfolio.

The name change from CASP+ to SecurityX will not affect the certification status of current CASP+ certification holders or the continuing education (CE) program. Those with an active CASP+ certification will automatically receive the rebranded SecurityX badge and can download a new certificate and transcript in CertMetrics. Unexpired CASP+ exam vouchers will work for the SecurityX exam. The certification will continue to:

  • Validate job tasks performed by a security professional with 10 years of IT experience and 5 years of security experience
  • Be designed around the tasks performed by senior security engineer and security architect roles
  • Be a natural progression from the job roles aligned to Security+
