What is CompTIA SecurityX?
CompTIA SecurityX is an advanced cybersecurity certification for security architects and senior security engineers responsible for leading and improving an organization's cybersecurity readiness.
CompTIA CASP+ Name Change to SecurityX
The CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+) certification has been rebranded as SecurityX with the release of the new exam version (CAS-005) on December 17, 2024. This updated name highlights the certification’s advanced, or "Xpert," level within CompTIA's portfolio.
The name change will not impact the status of current CASP+ certification holders or the Continuing Education (CE) program. Active CASP+ holders will automatically receive the new SecurityX badge and can download an updated certificate. Additionally, unexpired CASP+ exam vouchers will remain valid for the SecurityX exam.
Why CompTIA SecurityX?
Information security threats are increasing worldwide. Organizations are increasingly concerned about the lack of trained IT security personnel who can effectively direct and manage overall cybersecurity resiliency for the next attack. SecurityX aligns with the advanced skills security architects and senior security engineers need to effectively design, implement, and manage cybersecurity solutions in complex enterprise networks.
Here below you can find some fundamental reasons to choose CASP+ certification:
- SecurityX is the only practice-based certification in advanced cybersecurity skills for senior practitioners, not managers. While cybersecurity managers help determine what cybersecurity policies and frameworks can be implemented, SecurityX certified professionals discover how to implement solutions within those policies and frameworks.
- Unlike other certifications, SecurityX covers security architecture and engineering. CASP+ is the only one on the market that qualifies technology leaders to assess an organization's network readiness and design and implement the right solutions to ensure companies are prepared for the next attack certification.
What is CompTIA SecurityX useful for?
SecurityX is an advanced cybersecurity certification that demonstrates security architecture and advanced security engineering technical skills, governance, risk, and compliance skills in traditional, cloud, and hybrid environments, assessing an organization's cybersecurity readiness, and enterprise-wide implementation 's leading technical team includes cybersecurity solutions. CompTIA SecurityX helps you gain the knowledge you need to:
- Design, develop, integrate and deploy security solutions in complex environments to support the resilient enterprise
- Proactively support ongoing security operations in enterprise environments using monitoring, detection, incident response, and automation
- Apply security practices to cloud, on-premises, endpoint and mobile infrastructure, taking into account encryption techniques
- Consider the impact of governance, risk and compliance requirements across the enterprise
SecurityX is compliant with ISO 17024 standards and approved by the US DoD to meet directive 8140.03M requirements.
