Course Description
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.
CompTIA is trusted by employers around the globe. The 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.
Recommended Experience: This certification is for advanced-level cybersecurity professionals - individuals with at least 10 years of experience in IT administration, and at least 5 years of hands-on technical security experience.
CASP+ is an advanced-level cyber security 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.
The following are covered in CompTIA CASP+:
- Security architecture
- Security Operations
- Governance, risk, and compliance
- Security engineering and cryptography
CASP+ is compliant with ISO 17024 standards and approved by the US DoD to meet directive 8140/8570.01-M requirements.
Who should complete this credential?
This credential is designed for the IT security expert who wishes to advance his career in a hands-on, practitioner role - not as a manager. 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.
This credential requires extensive experience in IT network and security roles, and it is recommended for individuals with 5-10 years of experience in IT security who wish to validate their skills and understanding of cybersecurity and security architecture.
This credential is best suited for working professionals in roles like security architects, SOC managers, senior security engineers, and security analysts.
