Our CompTIA SecurityX courseware is a complete instructor-led training solution with conceptual material and lab exercises covering all exam objectives. Within the courseware itself you will find instructions for downloading a lab environment based on virtual machines (VMs). After installation, you will be able to run all the exercises in the course. This lab option is included in the base price of the courseware.

You can also select the Online Labs option for an additional charge. With the Online Labs, there are no computer setup requirements other than an internet connection and a web browser. Each student is assigned a voucher code. After logging in, students will work in a VM-based lab environment (with accompanying instructions) right in their browsers. It’s the same labs and lab environment that are included with our standard course, just much easier to set up and access. Actually, there's no setup at all! The access period is six months from redemption of the voucher code. (Instructor codes are good for one year.)

Welcome to CompTIA SecurityX Certification CAS-005. This course provides the knowledge needed to implement security solutions within an enterprise policy framework, using a vendor-neutral format. This includes GRC and vulnerability management programs, applied cryptography, system and network security, identity management, secure development, and incident response. This course maps to the CompTIA CASP+ certification exam. Objective coverage is marked throughout the course. You can download an objective map for the course from http://www.30bird.com.

You will benefit most from this course if you intend to take a CompTIA SecurityX CAS-005 exam.

This course assumes that you have some applied knowledge of computers, TCP/IP networks, and cybersecurity principles. Knowledge equivalent to the CompTIA Security+ or CySA+ certification is helpful but not necessary.
