About this class
Cybersecurity leaders aren’t just defenders, they’re strategists. The global cybersecurity workforce gap reached 4 million professionals in 2023, highlighting urgent demand for experts who can secure and lead at the enterprise level.
CompTIA SecurityX (formerly CASP+) is the only advanced-level, hands-on cybersecurity certification designed for senior security engineers and architects who lead cybersecurity readiness, design secure architectures, and implement resilient enterprise defenses.
SecurityX is the capstone certification in the CompTIA Cybersecurity Pathway and now forms part of the CompTIA Xpert Series. This updated CAS-005 version includes performance-based questions and maps to 19 NICE Framework roles and 19 DoD Cyber Workforce roles, making it an ideal credential for defense contractors and enterprise security leaders alike.
What you'll be able to do
This advanced certification course prepares experienced professionals to assess cyber readiness, design enterprise-wide security architectures, and implement secure solutions across hybrid environments. You’ll also gain the skills to respond to incidents, lead forensic analysis, and prove compliance against frameworks such as CMMC, NIST, GDPR, and more.
Key learning outcomes include:
- Architect secure solutions in hybrid cloud and zero trust environments
- Perform advanced threat management and digital forensics
- Lead cybersecurity readiness assessments across the enterprise
- Evaluate and meet compliance for major regulatory frameworks
- Implement cryptographic solutions and security engineering controls
