Course Content

  • Security program documentation: policies, procedures, standards, and guidelines.
  • Program management: training (phishing, security, privacy), communication, reporting, and RACI matrix.
  • Frameworks: COBIT, ITIL, etc.
  • Configuration management: asset life cycle, CMDB, and inventory.
  • GRC tools: mapping, automation, and compliance tracking.
  • Data governance: production, development, testing, and QA.
  • Risk management: impact analysis, risk assessment (quantitative vs. qualitative), third-party risk, confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
  • Threat modeling: actor characteristics, attack patterns, and frameworks (ATT&CK, CAPEC, STRIDE).
  • Attack surface: architecture reviews, data flows, and trust boundaries.
  • Compliance strategies: industry-specific standards (PCI DSS, ISO/IEC 27000).
  • Security frameworks: NIST, CSF, CSA, and others.

  • Cloud capabilities: CASB (API-based, proxy-based), shadow IT detection, shared responsibility model, CI/CD pipeline, Terraform, Ansible, container security, orchestration, and serverless workloads.
  • Cloud data security: data exposure, leakage, remanence, insecure storage, and encryption keys.
  • Cloud control strategies: proactive, detective, and preventative controls; customer-to-cloud connectivity, service integration, and continuous authorization.
  • Network architecture: segmentation, microsegmentation, VPN, always-on VPN, and API integration.
  • Security boundaries: asset identification, management, attestation, data perimeters, and secure zones.
  • Deperimeterization: SASE, SD-WAN, and software-defined networking.
  • Zero trust concepts: defining subject-object relationships.

  • Automation: scripting (PowerShell, Bash, Python), event triggers, IaC, cloud APIs, generative AI, containerization, patching, SOAR, and workflow automation.

FAQs

CompTIA SecurityX, formerly known as CASP+, is a globally recognized, hands-on, performance-based certification for advanced cybersecurity practitioners. It validates skills in security architecture, engineering, automation, monitoring, and incident response across complex environments. The name change emphasizes its position as an advanced, or “Xpert,” level certification in the CompTIA portfolio. 

CompTIA SecurityX does not have a scaled score. The exam is pass/fail based on performance across the objectives.

CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+) was rebranded to SecurityX with the release of the V5 exam on December 17, 2024. The name change highlights the advanced, or “Xpert,” level certifications in the CompTIA portfolio.

CompTIA SecurityX certification is valid for three years. You can maintain your certification by earning CEUs over three years through predetermined renewal activities.

SecurityX is ideal for advanced cybersecurity professionals, such as security architects and senior security engineers, who focus on implementing solutions within cybersecurity policies and frameworks.

No, SecurityX does not require prior certifications. However, CompTIA recommends candidates have at least 10 years of tech experience, including 5 years in security, to ensure readiness for the advanced-level content.

Preparation options include CertMaster Perform for comprehensive interactive lessons, CertMaster Labs for hands-on practice, CertMaster Practice for assessment readiness, and live online training through CompTIA partners or some academic providers.

  • CertMaster Perform: Interactive lessons, live labs, videos, quizzes, and practice questions with analytics. Includes diagnostic assessments and hands-on practice in live environments.
  • CertMaster Labs: Hands-on live labs in virtual machine environments to practice real-world cybersecurity tasks.
  • CertMaster Practice: Adaptive practice questions, text remediation, and a certification practice test to build confidence and simulate the exam experience.

SecurityX prepares you for advanced roles such as security architect, senior security engineer, cybersecurity consultant, enterprise security specialist, and technical lead for cybersecurity teams.

You can renew SecurityX by completing a single qualifying activity, such as earning a comparable non-CompTIA certification or passing the latest release of the SecurityX exam.
