COMPTIA ADVANCED SECURITY PRACTITIONER (CASP+)

What is CASP+?

CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+) is the ideal certification for technical professionals who wish to remain immersed in technology, as opposed to strictly managing.

CASP+ is the only hands-on, performance-based certification for 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.

Why is important for you?

The CASP+ certification validates advanced-level competency in risk management, enterprise security operations and architecture, research and collaboration, and integration of enterprise security.

The CASP+ exam covers the following:

• Enterprise security domain expanded to include operations and architecture concepts, techniques and requirements
• More emphasis on analyzing risk through interpreting trend data and anticipating cyberdefense needs to meet business goals
• Expanding security control topics to include mobile and small-form factor devices, as well as software vulnerability
• Broader coverage of integrating cloud and virtualization technologies into a secure enterprise architecture
• Inclusion of implementing cryptographic techniques, such as blockchain, cryptocurrency and mobile device encryption

Benefits of CASP+

• CASP+ is compliant with ISO 17024 standards.
