Jun 2nd 2025
The clock is ticking! CompTIA has officially announced the retirement of the CASP+ CAS-004 certification exam, with its last available testing date set for June 17, 2025. If you've been preparing for CAS-004, now’s the time to act. After that date, all candidates will need to take the new CASP+ CAS-005, also known as SecurityX.
What Is CASP+?
CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+) is designed for experienced security professionals who want to remain hands-on in enterprise environments rather than move into management. It covers advanced-level cybersecurity skills including architecture, risk management, enterprise security operations, and incident response.
What is covvered under each domain in SecurityX exam?
-
Governance, Risk and Compliance (20%)
-
Security Architecture (27%)
-
Security Engineering (31%)
-
Security Operations (22%)
The updated exam includes new performance-based questions and aligns with DoD 8570.01-M requirements under IAM Level II, IASAE II, and CSSP Analyst roles.

What Does SecurityX Cost?
As expected with new and upgraded certifications, CASP+ CAS-005 (SecurityX) comes at a higher price point. The retail price of the SecurityX exam voucher is $494, compared to the older CAS-004 pricing. However, GetCertified4Less offers discounted vouchers, helping you save significantly compared to buying direct.
