CompTIA SecurityX, an advanced-level cybersecurity certification course designed for experienced IT professionals who want to take their skills to the next level. Taught by expert instructor Jagat Panchal, this course prepares you for the CompTIA SecurityX (CAS-005) certification exam while equipping you with the real-world expertise needed to thrive as an advanced security practitioner.

The SecurityX certification is intended for professionals with 10+ years of hands-on IT experience, including at least five years of broad IT security experience. This makes it the perfect next step for senior IT specialists, cybersecurity engineers, and security leaders who are ready to prove their mastery of advanced concepts and practices.

You'll learn how to:

• Summarize governance, risk, and compliance to align security with organizational objectives.
• Implement secure architectures and design strategies to protect enterprise systems.
• Apply security engineering principles for building and maintaining resilient infrastructure.
• Execute security operations and incident response to effectively detect, contain, and resolve threats.

This course blends cyber range labs, threat intelligence analysis, and capture-the-flag (CTF) challenges, giving you real-world experience in identifying, containing, and mitigating cyber attacks.

By the end of this course, you'll be able to:

• Detect advanced threats using SIEM (Splunk, QRadar) and EDR (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne) tools.
• Analyze attack patterns with the MITRE ATT&CK framework and global threat intelligence feeds.
• Contain breaches by isolating compromised systems and deploying countermeasures.
• Investigate incidents through memory forensics (Volatility) and disk analysis (FTK, Autopsy).
• Harden networks with deception technologies such as honeypots, canaries, and Zero Trust principles.
• Automate incident response with SOAR platforms and custom Python scripts.
• Conduct purple team exercises to evaluate organizational security posture.
• Document incident response procedures following NIST SP 800-61 guidelines.

Career Outcomes: SOC Analyst (Tier 2/3), Threat Hunter, Cybersecurity Incident Responder, or progression to advanced certifications like CompTIA CASP+.

Expectations: Students must complete weekly threat hunts, maintain detailed lab journals, and adhere to ethical hacking guidelines throughout the course.

This program provides the practical skills, advanced tools training, and certification readiness you need to defend organizations against today's most complex cyber threats.
