CompTIA securityX (CAS-005) is an advanced-level cybersecurity certification for senior-level professionals like security architects & engineers. It helps you validate your hands-on technical skills in designing and implementing secure solutions, managing risks, & maintaining a resilient enterprise. 

The CompTIA SecurityX exam is intended for more experienced IT professionals with at least 10 years of IT administration experience, including a minimum of five years of hands-on technical security experience. It is ideal for those who want to advance into technical leadership roles, including security architect, security engineer, or application security architect. 

SecurityX is the official new name for CASP+. The CAS-005 exam objectives are an updated version of the previous exam, with an increased emphasis on governance, risk & compliance, and security engineering.

The CompTIA SecurityX exam is one of the most difficult certifications in the CompTIA lineup to achieve. It is an expert-level, performance-based exam that requires deep, hands-on technical knowledge & critical thinking.

While both SecurityX & CISSP are advanced, they have different focuses. The CompTIA SecurityX certification focuses on hands-on, technical skills for implementing security solutions. Meanwhile, CISSP is way more focused on the managerial & strategic aspects of the organization’s security program.

However, the CompTIA SecurityX exam cost is way lower than the CISSP, and it also does not have the same strict experience requirements for sitting in the exam. 

Don’t Just Manage Security—Lead It.
