SecurityX (CASP+)

CompTIA SecurityX (formerly CASP+)

Advanced Security Skills for Experienced Cybersecurity Professionals

CompTIA SecurityX is an advanced-level cybersecurity certification designed for security practitioners responsible for assessing, designing and implementing secure solutions across complex enterprise environments. The certification validates the advanced technical skills required to manage risk, respond to threats and architect secure systems in modern organisations.

Unlike management-focused cybersecurity certifications, SecurityX emphasises hands-on technical expertise, making it ideal for professionals who actively design, engineer and secure enterprise systems.
