Your interest in CompTIA SecurityX (formerly CASP+) is logged.
CompTIA's advanced-practitioner security credential, renamed from CASP+ to SecurityX. It certifies senior hands-on security work — architecture, engineering and risk — for people who want to stay technical rather than move into management.
Senior security engineers and architects, many of them in US government and defense contracting, where the credential is approved under DoD 8140. They work at federal integrators, agencies and enterprise security teams.
The DoD 8140 approval keeps demand steady, and the rename has not disturbed it. But pay for senior technical security work is set more by CISSP and cloud security credentials than by this one, so hold it and stack upward from there.
The rename resets recognition with hiring managers who still search for CASP+, and the credential competes directly with CISSP for the same senior roles. If DoD 8140 mappings tilt further toward cloud security credentials, the floor under it weakens.
