Advanced Security Practitioner Plus - CASP+
Class Overview
CompTIA’s Advanced Security Practitioner Plus
, also known as CASP+, is an advanced-level cybersecurity certification for security architects and senior security engineers charged with leading and improving an enterprise’s cybersecurity readiness.
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 determine how to implement solutions within those policies and frameworks.
CASP+ is the most up to date advanced-level cybersecurity certification on the market. It 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.
Unlike other certifications, CASP+ covers both security architecture and engineering and 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 US 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.
CASP+ is approved by DoD 8140 for the following work roles:
221 - Cyber crime investigator
461 - Systems security analyst
511 - Cyber defense analyst
531 - Cyber defense incident responder
