CompTIA SecurityX (formerly CASP+) validates expert-level skills to architect, engineer, secure and operate complex enterprise environments: governance, risk and compliance, security architecture, security engineering and security operations.
What you get
Papers are cut from the bank and weighted like the real exam, and no question appears in two of them. Every wrong answer comes back on later days until you have it right.
What the exam covers
| Governance, Risk, and Compliance | 20% |
| Security Architecture | 27% |
| Security Engineering | 31% |
| Security Operations | 22% |
Two sample questions
1. A company wants runtime threat detection and vulnerability assessment across its VMs and containers in several clouds. What should it deploy?
- A CASB in API mode
- An ISAC membership

- A CWPP — correct
Why: Cloud workload protection platforms protect VMs, containers and serverless.
2. A biometric system lets impostors in too often. Which metric is too high?
- False acceptance rate — correct
