CompTIA SecurityX

Formerly known as CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+), CompTIA SecurityX is an expert-level cybersecurity certification for security architects and senior security engineers charged with leading and improving an enterprise’s cybersecurity readiness.

SecurityX is the only hands-on, performance-based certification for advanced practitioners—not managers—at the advanced skill level of cybersecurity

While cybersecurity managers help identify what cybersecurity policies and frameworks could be implemented, SecurityX certified professionals figure out how to implement solutions within those policies and frameworks.

Our immersive CompTIA SecurityX course covers both security architecture and engineering.

SecurityX is the only certification on the market that qualifies technical leaders to assess cyber readiness within an enterprise, and design and implement the proper solutions to ensure the organization is ready for the next attack. SecurityX is the most up to date advanced-level cybersecurity certification on the market.

SecurityX covers technical skills in on premises, cloud native, and hybrid environments, governance, risk, and compliance skills, assessing an enterprise’s cybersecurity readiness, and leading technical teams to implement enterprise-wide cybersecurity solutions.

You’ll also learn to:

• Analyze security requirements in hybrid networks to work toward an enterprise-wide, zero trust security architecture with advanced secure cloud and virtualization solutions.
• Address advanced threat management, vulnerability management, risk mitigation, incident response tactics and digital forensics analysis.
• Prove an organization’s overall cybersecurity resiliency metric and compliance to regulations, such as CMMC, PCI-DSS, SOX, HIPAA, GDPR, FISMA, NIST and CCPA.
• Understand configurations for endpoint security controls, enterprise mobility, cloud/hybrid environments, and enterprise-wide PKI and cryptographic solutions.

At the end of this course, you’ll achieve your CompTIA SecurityX certification. Through Firebrand’s Lecture | Lab | Review method, you’ll access official courseware, learn from certified instructors, and train in a distraction-free environment.
