CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+) is an expert-level certification and is designed for technical professionals who wish to remain immersed in technology, as opposed to strictly managing.

CASP+ covers the technical knowledge and skills required to conceptualize, engineer, integrate and implement secure solutions across complex environments to support a resilient enterprise. The CASP+ certification validates advanced-level competency in risk management, enterprise security operations and architecture, research and collaboration, and integration of enterprise security. The CASP+ exam covers the following:

- Enterprise security domain expanded to include operations and architecture concepts, techniques and requirements
- More emphasis on analyzing risk through interpreting trend data and anticipating cyberdefense needs to meet business goals
- Expanding security control topics to include mobile and small-form factor devices, as well as software vulnerability
- Broader coverage of integrating cloud and virtualization technologies into a secure enterprise architecture
- Inclusion of implementing cryptographic techniques, such as blockchain, cryptocurrency and mobile device encryption

The program prepares candidates for the CompTIA CASP+ Certification Exam (CAS-003). It is recommended that candidates have a minimum of 10 years of experience in IT administration, including at least five years of hands-on technical security experience.
