The new CompTIA SecurityX (CAS-005) exam is coming soon!

The new CompTIA SecurityX is an advanced-level cybersecurity certification for security architects and senior security engineers charged with leading and improving an enterprise’s cybersecurity readiness.

Differentiate Your Learners With SecurityX

SecurityX is the only hands-on, performance-based certification for advanced practitioners — not managers — at the advanced skill level of cybersecurity.
While cybersecurity managers help identify what cybersecurity policies and frameworks could be implemented, SecurityX certified professionals figure out how to implement solutions within those policies and frameworks.		 Unlike other certifications, SecurityX covers both security architecture and engineering. SecurityX is the only certification on the market that qualifies technical leaders to assess cyber readiness within an enterprise, and design and implement the proper solutions to ensure the organization is ready for the next attack. SecurityX (formerly CASP+) is compliant with ISO/ANSI 17024 standard and approved by the U.S. DoD to meet Directive 8140.03M requirements.
  • Regulators and government rely on ISO/ANSI accreditation because it provides confidence and trust in the outputs of an accredited program. Over 3 million CompTIA ISO/ANSI-accredited exams have been delivered since January 1, 2011.
  • CompTIA SecurityX (formerly CASP+) maps to 19 NICE work roles and 19 DoD Cyber Work Force (DCWF) work roles used in the DoD 8140.03 manual
