CompTIA SecurityX Online Course

CompTIA SecurityX – The Advanced Cyber Security Certification for Technical Leaders

SecurityX (CAS-005) is CompTIA’s new name for the Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+) certification. Tailored for experienced professionals who design, implement, and lead cyber security strategies, SecurityX validates your ability to build and maintain enterprise-wide cyber resilience across hybrid, cloud-native, and on-premises environments.

Unlike other certifications focused on management or compliance alone, SecurityX bridges technical leadership, enterprise architecture, and operational excellence.

This course will include the CertMaster Learn, Labs, and Practice suite upon release — offering performance-based learning, hands-on labs, and adaptive exam prep aligned to the new CAS-005 standard.
