Presentation
As threats grow more sophisticated, businesses need practitioners who can not only manage security but also architect and engineer it at the highest level. CompTIA SecurityX training (formerly CASP+) represents the highest level of CompTIA certification. It validates advanced skills for designing and implementing resilient security solutions in complex, hybrid environments.
This intensive 5-day pathway prepares you for the CAS-005 certification exam. Unlike intermediate certifications, SecurityX focuses on practical application and critical analysis rather than memorisation. You will learn to align security with business needs, orchestrate proactive security operations (SecOps) and navigate governance, risk and compliance (GRC) requirements.
This course is a pathway for experienced professionals seeking to validate expert status and move into technical leadership roles such as security architect or senior security engineer.
Objectives
By the end of this CompTIA course, you will be able to:
- design and implement robust security architectures: Zero Trust, cloud and hybrid;
- design security solutions to protect data, applications and infrastructure;
- lead security operations through monitoring, automation and incident response;
- apply governance, risk and compliance (GRC) principles to business strategies;
- pass the CompTIA SecurityX V5 (CAS-005) certification exam.
Program
Please note: the course is delivered in French, but course materials and the exam are exclusively in English.
Day 1: Leading Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC)
- Analysing and applying security governance frameworks.
- Managing risk and compliance strategies.
- Assessing and auditing security posture.
- Managing third-party and supply chain risks.
Day 2: Architecting resilient security solutions
- Designing secure architectures: reference models and Zero Trust.
- Integrating security into cloud and hybrid environments.
- Securing network infrastructure and endpoints.
- Identity and Access Management (IAM) architecture.
Day 3: Engineering system and data security
- Data security engineering and applied cryptography: PKI and encryption.
- Securing the software development life cycle (DevSecOps).
- Implementing advanced system and application security controls.
- Protecting emerging technologies: IoT, OT and mobile.
Day 4: Operating monitoring and incident response (SecOps)
- Continuous monitoring and threat detection.
- Security incident analysis and response.
- Using automation and orchestration (SOAR).
- Digital forensics and evidence collection.
Day 5: Practising and preparing for CompTIA SecurityX certification
- Intensive review of the 4 key CAS-005 exam domains.
- Practice with a Performance-Based Questions (PBQ) simulation exercise.
- Taking a mock exam under realistic conditions, with corrections and deeper exploration of complex concepts.
- Optimising time management for the 165-minute exam with instructor guidance.
Audience
This course is designed for experts seeking to validate technical leadership, particularly:
- security architects designing resilient cloud, hybrid or Zero Trust infrastructures;
- senior security engineers responsible for technical implementation and system hardening;
- SOC managers and lead analysts who oversee detection, incident response and forensics;
- cybersecurity consultants advising businesses on GRC and compliance;
- application security specialists who integrate security into the DevOps life cycle (DevSecOps).
Prerequisites
The following prerequisites apply:
- Experience: CompTIA recommends at least 10 years of general IT administration experience, including at least 5 years of extensive hands-on security experience.
- Language: fluent technical English is essential, as the exam and materials are in English.
- Certifications: CompTIA Security+, CySA+, PenTest+ or equivalent certifications are strongly recommended.
