What you’ll learn
The most up-to-date advanced-level cybersecurity certification on the market, CompTIA SecurityX course covers both security architecture and engineering.
Formerly known as CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+), CompTIA SecurityX is the only hands-on, performance-based certification for advanced practitioners — not managers — that qualifies them to assess cyber readiness within an enterprise, and design and implement the proper solutions to ensure the organisation is ready for the next attack.
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.
This course is ideal for Security Architects, Senior Security Engineers, SOC Managers, Cyber Risk Analysts, and Chief Information Security Officers.
You’ll 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.

Yes, we do provide courses suitable for beginners. However, Firebrand's courses aren't easy and it's essential that you are interested and actively pursuing a career in IT.
Traditional training providers usually run their courses from 9am to 5pm. At Firebrand Training we maximise the number of learning hours to minimise the number of training days, so you’ll be back to your job as quickly as possible. You don’t waste time travelling to several courses and finding an exam centre after that.
Firebrand's courses are constantly reviewed. We ask our delegates for feedback after every course. We are official partners with leading vendors and therefore, we're provided with certification changes and updates, which we can then implement in our course delivery at a very early stage. This feedback is then analysed in view of changes or discrepancies. We will then address the topics mentioned and have a panel of subject matter experts provide us with valuable suggestions for improvement and solutions.
