The CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner+ exam, which CompTIA refers to as the CASP+, is designed to be a vendor-neutral certification for cybersecurity, threat, and vulnerability analysts. The CASP+ certification is designed for security analysts and engineers as well as security operations center (SOC) staff, vulnerability analysts, and threat intelligence analysts. It focuses on security analytics and practical use of security tools in real-world scenarios.

The CASP+ exam is conducted in a format that CompTIA calls performance-based assessment. This means the exam uses hands-on simulations using actual security tools and scenarios to perform tasks that match those found in the daily work of a security practitioner. Exam questions may include many types of questions such as multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, multiple-response, drag-and-drop, and image-based problems.

CompTIA recommends that test takers have 10 years of information security–related experience before taking this exam. The exam costs $439 in the United States, with roughly equivalent prices in other locations around the globe.
