CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+) will be re-branded to SecurityX with the release of the next exam version CAS-005 on December 17, 2024. The name change emphasizes the advanced, or “Xpert” level certifications in the CompTIA portfolio. This name change 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. The certification will continue to:

• • Validate job tasks performed by a security professional with 10 years of IT experience and 5 years of security experience
  • Be designed around the tasks performed by senior security engineer and security architect roles
  • Be a natural progression from the job roles aligned to Security+

Thank you to all the cybersecurity professionals who sat for the beta exam for the next version of CASP+, CAS-005, rebranded as CompTIA SecurityX. The beta exam closed July 23. The rebranding will begin with the next exam version release, tentatively December 2024. Due to beta exam scoring processes, participants will not know whether they passed/earned the certification until the release date, and will be notified directly from Pearson VUE.
