SecurityX Certification (CASP+) Boot Camp

Course Description

Prepare for the advanced-level CompTIA SecurityX (CASP+) exam with this hands-on, expert-led Boot Camp. Focused on enterprise-level cybersecurity architecture, engineering, and operations, this course is designed for seasoned professionals in technical roles who want to maintain hands-on mastery, not just managerial oversight. The curriculum aligns directly with CompTIA’s V5 SecurityX exam domains and emphasizes real-world implementation and exam readiness.

Key Learning Objectives
• Architect and implement security solutions across hybrid environments (cloud, on-prem, virtualization).
• Engineer secure network and system infrastructures using advanced cryptographic and automation techniques.
• Operate and monitor security systems using SIEM, threat hunting, and intrusion detection/prevention tools.
• Manage governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) frameworks and conduct effective threat modeling.
• Integrate research-driven strategies into proactive enterprise security operations.

Course Modules Overview

Module 1 – Governance, Risk & Compliance (20% of exam)

Topics Covered:
• Security program documentation: policies, procedures, standards, guidelines.
• GRC frameworks: COBIT, ITIL, NIST, ISO, and configuration management (CMDBs).
• Risk management: impact analysis, qualitative/quantitative assessments, third-party risk.
• Threat modeling and compliance strategies (PCI DSS, GDPR, ISO, etc.).

Module 2 – Security Architecture (27%)

Topics Covered:
• Secure network & cloud architecture: segmentation, microsegmentation, VPNs, zero trust, SASE.
• Automation in architecture: IaC, container orchestration, serverless, CI/CD pipelines.
• Security zones, trust boundaries, asset identification, and cloud controls.

Module 3 – Security Engineering (31%)

Topics Covered:
• Automation & scripting (PowerShell, Python), SOAR and workflow automation.
• Advanced cryptography: homomorphic encryption, PQC, tokenization, digital signatures.
• Data security mechanisms: encryption, DLP, key management, classification.

Module 4 – Security Operations (22%)

Topics Covered:
• Monitoring with SIEM: correlation, alerts, baselining, log analysis.
• Threat hunting and IoC handling: honeypots, OSINT, TIPs, YARA, STIX/TAXII.
• Incident response: malware analysis, reverse engineering, root cause analysis.

Module 5 – Final Exam Review & Practice
• Mock Exams & Simulation: Domain-weighted practice tests mirroring actual SecurityX exam format (multiple-choice, performance-based).
• Exam Strategy: Time management, question navigation, problem-solving under pressure.

Hands-On Exercises
• GRC policy and framework workshop using real-world compliance scenarios.
• Design and automate secure network/cloud architectures in a lab setup.
• Scripting labs for automation of security tasks.
• SIEM configuration and threat-hunting simulations.
• Security engineering and cryptography use-case challenges.

Materials Provided
• Official CompTIA SecurityX (CASP+) exam objectives and study guide.
• Domain-weighted mock exams and performance-based simulations.
• Post-class access to training recordings, labs, and supplementary resources.
• Exam voucher included for immediate testing readiness.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion, participants will be able to:
• Confidently design, engineer, and implement secure solutions across complex enterprise environments.
• Leverage automation and cryptography to elevate security posture.
• Drive proactive security operations through advanced monitoring and incident response capabilities.
• Navigate Governance, Risk & Compliance challenges with strategic insight.
• Pass the SecurityX exam with mastery across all domain areas and real-world application readiness.
