CompTIA is a nonprofit trade organization that offers certification in a variety of IT areas, ranging from the skills that a PC support technician needs, which are covered on the A+ exam, to advanced skills like the CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+) certification. CompTIA divides its exams into four categories based on the skill level required for the exam and the topics it covers, as shown here:

Infrastructure	Core	Cybersecurity	Additional Professional
Cloud+ Linux+ Server+	ITF+ A+ Network+ Security+	CySA+ PenTest+CASP+	CTT+ Cloud Essentials+ Project+

As you can see, the CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner+ certification fits into the Cybersecurity category, which is the same place you'll find the popular A+, Network+, and Security+ credentials. The CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner+ exam is a more advanced exam, intended for professionals with 10 years of hands-on experience who possess the knowledge covered by all of the prior exams.

CompTIA certifications are ISO and ANSI accredited, and they are used throughout multiple industries as a measure of technical skill and knowledge. In addition, CompTIA certifications, including the Security+ and the CASP+, have been approved by the U.S. government as information assurance baseline certifications and are included in the State Department's Skills Incentive Program.
