Overview

CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP)CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+) CAS-004 is an advanced-level cybersecurity certification for security architects and senior security engineers charged with leading and improving an enterprise's cybersecurity readinessCASP+ 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, CASP+ certified professionals figure out how to implement solutions within those policies and frameworksUnlike other certifications, CASP+ covers both security architecture and engineering - CASP+ 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 attackCourse Content0 Security ArchitectureGiven a scenario, analyze the

(CySA+) is an international, vendor-neutral cybersecurity certification that applies behavioral analytics to improve the overall state of IT security. CySA+ validates critical knowledge and skills that are required to prevent, detect and combat cybersecurity threatsAs attackers have learned to evade traditional signature-based solutions such as firewalls, an analytics-based approach within the IT security industry is increasingly important for most organizations. The behavioral analytics skills covered by CySA+ identify and combat malware, and advanced persistent threats (APTs), resulting in enhanced threat visibility across a broad attack surface. CompTIA CySA+ is for IT professionals looking to gain the following security analyst skills:Configure and use threat detection toolsPerform data analysisInterpret the results to identify vulnerabilities, threats and risks to an organization.Course ContentThreat ManagementGiven a scenario, apply environmental reconnaissance techniques using appropriate tools and processesGiven a scenario, analyze the results of a network reconnaissanceGiven a network-based threat, implement or recommend the appropriate response and countermeasureExplain the purpose of practices used to secure a corporate environmentVulnerability ManagementGiven a scenario, implement an information security vulnerability management processGiven a scenario, analyze the output resulting from a vulnerability scanCompare and contrast common vulnerabilities found in the following targets within an organizationCyber Incident ResponseGiven a scenario, distinguish threat data or behavior to determine the impact of an incidentGiven a scenario, prepare a toolkit and use appropriate forensics tools during an investigation.Explain the importance of communication during the incident response processGiven a scenario, analyze common symptoms to select the best course of action to support incident responseSummarize the incident recovery and post-incident response processSecurity Architecture and Tool SetsExplain the relationship between frameworks, common policies, controls, and proceduresGiven a scenario, use data to recommend remediation of security issues related to identity and access managementGiven a scenario, review security architecture and make recommendations to implement compensating controlsGiven a scenario, use application security best practices while participating in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)Compare and contrast the general purpose and reasons for using various cybersecurity tools and technologiesCompTIA PenTest+ is for cybersecurity professionals tasked with penetration testing (pentesting) and vulnerability managementCompTIA PenTest+ is the most comprehensive exam covering all penetration testing stages. Unlike other penetration testing exams that only cover a portion of stages with essay questions and hands-on, PenTest+ uses both performance-based and knowledge-based questions to ensure all stages are addressed.

It not only covers hands-on vulnerability assessment, scanning, and analysis, but also includes planning, scoping, and managing weaknesses, not just exploiting themPenTest+ is the most current penetration testing exam covering the latest techniques against expanded attack surfaces. It is a unique exam that requires a candidate to demonstrate the most relevant pen testing skills for the cloud, hybrid environments, web applications, Internet of Things (IoT), and traditional on-premisesCompTIA PenTest+ is an intermediate-skills level cybersecurity certification that focuses on offensive skills through pen testing and vulnerability assessment. Cybersecurity professionals with CompTIA PenTest+ know how plan, scope, and manage weaknesses, not just exploit themIT certifications show employers that candidates have the knowledge and skills they need to do the job, and they help IT pros advance in their careers. As cybersecurity has become a critical function, cybersecurity certifications are among the most popular IT certifications globallyThe CompTIA PenTest+ certification is a vendor-neutral, internationally targeted validation of intermediate-level penetration testing (or pen testing) knowledge and skills.
