CompTIA SecurityX

Cybersecurity leaders aren’t just defenders—they’re strategists. The global cybersecurity workforce gap reached 4 million professionals in 2023, highlighting urgent demand for experts who can secure and lead at the enterprise level. CompTIA SecurityX (formerly CASP+) is the only advanced-level, hands-on cybersecurity certification designed for senior security engineers and architects who lead cybersecurity readiness, design secure architectures, and implement resilient enterprise defenses. SecurityX is the capstone certification in the CompTIA Cybersecurity Pathway and now forms part of the CompTIA Xpert Series. This updated CAS-005 version includes performance-based questions and maps to 19 NICE Framework roles and 19 DoD Cyber Workforce roles, making it an ideal credential for defense contractors and enterprise security leaders alike.
