The CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+) certification is a certification for technical professionals who wish to remain immersed in technology, as opposed to strictly managing. The performance-based certification test both security architecture and engineering skills. CASP validates advanced-level competency in the following areas:

• Risk management,
• enterprise security operations and
• architecture.

CASP is compliant with ISO 17024 standards and approved by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to meet directive 8140/8570.01-M requirements.  The CASP+ certification training course will teach candidates technical skills in security architecture and senior security engineering in traditional, cloud, and hybrid environments. Additionally, it covers governance, risk, and compliance skills and how to assess an enterprise’s cybersecurity readiness and implement robust cybersecurity solutions.
