CompTIA CASP+
CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner
EXAM CODES CAS-004
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 CASP+ GIVES YOU THE CONFIDENCE TO DESIGN, IMPLEMENT, AND MANAGE ENTERPRISE SOLUTIONS
Differentiate Yourself With Cloud+
CASP+ is the only hands-on, performance-based certification for advanced 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.
Unlike other certifications, CASP+ covers both security architecture and engineering
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.
CASP+ is compliant with ISO 17024 standards and approved by the U.S. DoD to meet Directive 8140.03M requirements
Regulators and government rely on ANSI accreditation, because it provides confidence and trust in the outputs of an accredited program. Over 3 million CompTIA ISO/ANSI-accredited exams have been delivered since January 1, 2011.
CASP+ is the most up to date advanced-level cybersecurity certification on the market
CASP+ covers technical skills in on premises, cloud native, and hybrid environments, governance, risk, and compliance skills, assessing an enterprise’s cybersecurity readiness, and leading technical teams to implement enterprise-wide cybersecurity solutions.
CASP+ CERTIFIES THAT PROFESSIONALS CAN LEAD AND MANAGE RESILIENCY AGAINST THE NEXT ATTACK
