Course Overview

The CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+)(CAS-004) by CompTIA is an advanced-level certification designed for seasoned IT security professionals aiming to validate expertise in architecting, engineering, and implementing secure solutions across complex enterprise environments. This course prepares candidates for the CompTIA CASP+ CAS-004 certification exam, targeting senior-level roles such as Security Architect, Senior Security Engineer, and Security Operations Manager. According to CompTIA, over 2.3 million ISO/ANSI-accredited exams have been delivered since 2011, underscoring its industry adoption and recognition among employers in government and private sectors, including DoD-approved 8570 compliance for IAT Level III and IASAE roles.

This course emphasizes hands-on, performance-based skills using real-world technologies and platforms aligned with the CompTIA CASP+ CAS-004 exam objectives. Students engage with tools such as AWS, Azure, MITRE ATT&CK Navigator, Nessus, Wireshark, and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems within a browser-based lab environment. Through Assisted and Applied Labs, learners configure virtual networks in Azure, deploy virtual private clouds on Amazon Web Services, implement web application firewalls, perform static code analysis, and analyze intrusion detection system logs. A key real-world project includes deploying and hardening a server image in the cloud while integrating symmetric encryption and troubleshooting HTTP server certificates, ensuring readiness for enterprise cybersecurity challenges.

The CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+)(CAS-004) certification is ANSI-accredited and recognized as a benchmark for technical cybersecurity leadership, differentiating itself as the only performance-based credential for advanced practitioners—distinct from management-focused certifications. According to PayScale and Skillsoft research, certified professionals earn an average salary of $127,000 to $130,000 annually, with strong career advancement potential into roles like Chief Information Security Officer or Senior Security Consultant. Koenig Solutions supports learners with official CompTIA courseware, hands-on lab integration, and Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, ensuring flexible, expert-led training. Earning this credential enables professionals to lead technical teams, assess cyber readiness, and implement resilient security architectures in hybrid and cloud environments.
