The CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+) certification is designed for technical professionals who wish to remain immersed in technology rather than strictly managing it. Here are the key details you need to know:

Certification Overview:
Exam Code: CAS-004
Description: CASP+ validates advanced-level competency in the following areas:
Risk Management: Analyzing security requirements in hybrid networks to work toward an enterprise-wide, zero-trust security architecture with advanced secure cloud and virtualization solutions.
Enterprise Security Operations and Architecture: Addressing advanced threat management, vulnerability management, risk mitigation, incident response tactics, and digital forensics analysis.
Unlike other certifications, CASP+ covers both security architecture and engineering.
It qualifies technical leaders to assess cyber readiness within an enterprise and design and implement proper solutions to ensure the organization is ready for the next attack.
CASP+ is compliant with ISO 17024 standards and approved by the US DoD to meet Directive 8140.03M requirements.
Skills You’ll Learn:
Security Architecture:
Analyzing security requirements in hybrid networks

Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).
Advice for a Cyber Professional:
CASP+ is the only hands-on, performance-based certification for advanced practitioners at the advanced skill level of cybersecurity.
While cybersecurity managers identify policies and frameworks, CASP+ certified professionals implement solutions within those policies and frameworks.
CASP+ covers technical skills in on-premises, cloud-native, and hybrid environments, making it the most up-to-date advanced-level cybersecurity certification on the market1[1]23.
