CompTIA SecurityX
(Formerly CASP+)

  • For aspiring and practising Advanced Security Practitioners
  • Validate your experience as an advanced security operations expert
  • Qualify and validate your skills with the support of expert Tutors, Study Coaches, and Recruitment Advisors
  • This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

CompTIA CASP+ Name Change To SecurityX

CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+) will be re-branded to SecurityX with the release of the next exam version CAS-005. The name change emphasises the advanced, or “Xpert” level certifications in the CompTIA portfolio.

The name change from CASP+ to SecurityX will not affect the certification status of current CASP+ certification holders or the continuing education (CE) program. Those with an active CASP+ certification will automatically receive the rebranded SecurityX badge and can download a new certificate and transcript in CertMetrics. Unexpired CASP+ exam vouchers will work for the SecurityX exam.
