CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+) is an advanced-level
cybersecurity certification for security architects and senior security
engineers charged with leading and improving an enterprise’s cybersecurity
readiness.
CASP+ CAS-004:
What’s in this version
Information security threats are on the rise globally. organisations are
increasingly concerned over the lack of adequately trained senior IT
security staff’s ability to effectively lead and manage the overall
cybersecurity resiliency against the next attack. Updates to CASP+ qualify
advanced skills required of security architects and senior security
engineers to effectively design, implement, and manage cybersecurity
solutions on complex enterprise networks.
Why is CASP+ Different?
CASP+ 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, CASP+ certified professionals figure out
how to implement solutions within those policies and frameworks.
Unlike other certifications, CASP+ covers both security architecture and
engineering – CASP+ 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.
About the exam
CASP+ is an advanced-level cybersecurity certification covering technical
skills in security architecture and senior security engineering in
traditional, cloud, and hybrid environments, governance, risk, and
compliance skills, assessing an enterprise’s cybersecurity readiness, and
leading technical teams to implement enterprise-wide cybersecurity
solutions. Successful candidates will have the knowledge required to:
- Architect, engineer, integrate, and implement secure solutions across
complex environments to support a resilient enterprise
- Use monitoring, detection, incident response, and automation to
proactively support ongoing security operations in an enterprise
environment
- Apply security practices to cloud, on-premises, endpoint, and mobile
infrastructure, while considering cryptographic technologies and
techniques
