CompTIA SecurityX
Overview
CompTIA SecurityX (formerly CompTIA CASP+) is the only advanced level cybersecurity certification designed strictly for practitioners, not managers.
In this course, you will expand on your knowledge of information security to apply more advanced principles that will keep your organization safe from the many ways it can be threatened.
This course can also benefit you if you intend to pass the CompTIA SecurityX (CAS-005) certification examination. What you learn and practice in this course can be a significant part of your preparation.

Who Should Take This Course
Audience
This course is designed for IT professionals in the cybersecurity industry whose primary job responsibility is to secure complex enterprise environments. The target student should have real-world experience with the technical administration of these enterprise environments.
This course is also designed for students who are seeking the CompTIA SecurityX certification and who want to prepare for the CAS-005 exam. Students seeking SecurityX certification should have at least 10 years of experience in IT management, with at least 5 years of hands-on technical security experience.
Prerequisites
To be ready for this advanced course, you should have at least a foundational knowledge of information security. This includes, but is not limited to:
-
- Knowledge of identity and access management (IAM) concepts and common implementations, such as authentication factors and directory services.
-
- Knowledge of cryptographic concepts and common implementations, such as Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) and public key infrastructure (PKI).
-
- Knowledge of computer networking concepts and implementations, such as the TCP/IP model and configuration of routers and switches.
-
- Knowledge of common security technologies used to safeguard the enterprise, such as anti-malware solutions, firewalls, and VPNs.
CompTIA® Security+® is strongly recommended.
CompTIA® A+® Certification and CompTIA® Network+® will also be helpful.
Course Objectives
In this course, you will analyze and apply advanced security concepts, principles, and implementations that contribute to enterprise-level security, including:
- Support IT governance in the enterprise with an emphasis on managing risk.
- Leverage collaboration tools and technology to support enterprise security.
- Use research and analysis to secure the enterprise.
- Integrate advanced authentication and authorization techniques.
- Implement cryptographic techniques.
- Implement security controls for hosts.
- Implement security controls for mobile devices.
- Implement network security.
- Implement security in the systems and software development lifecycle.
- Integrate hosts, storage, networks, applications, virtual environments, and cloud technologies in a secure enterprise architecture.
- Conduct security assessments.
- Respond to and recover from security incidents.
This course supports a certification that is a DoD Approved 8570 Baseline Certification and meets DoD 8140/8570 training requirements.
Upon completing this course, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- Architect, engineer, integrate, and implement secure solutions across complex environments to support a resilient enterprise.
- Use automation, monitoring, detection, and incident response to proactively support ongoing security operations in an enterprise environment.
- Apply security practices to cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments.
- Consider cryptographic technologies and techniques, as well as the impact of emerging trends (e.g., artificial intelligence) on information security.
- Use the appropriate governance, compliance, risk management, and threat-modeling strategies throughout the enterprise.
