# CompTIA SecurityX Training

> Master advanced security engineering, architecture, and enterprise risk aligned to SecurityX (CAS-005). Build expertise through real labs, roleplay scenarios, and hands-on security design projects.

## Overview

CompTIA SecurityX (CAS-005) is a next-generation advanced cybersecurity certification designed for senior professionals responsible for enterprise-scale security architecture and engineering. Replacing the retired CASP+, it validates the ability to design, build, and implement secure solutions across highly complex environments.

This mentor-led course focuses on real-world enterprise scenarios including zero trust architecture, hybrid cloud security, threat modelling, and governance frameworks. Participants will gain hands-on experience through labs, roleplay exercises, and practical design challenges that mirror real organisational security problems.

By the end of the programme, learners will be equipped to lead security initiatives, design resilient architectures, and align cybersecurity strategy with business goals. This course is ideal for professionals targeting senior-level roles in security engineering and architecture.
