Introduction
CompTIA CASP+ (CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner) Practice Tests is a companion volume to CompTIA CASP+ (CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner) Study Guide (Wiley, 2019, Parker/Gregg). If you're looking to test your knowledge before you take the CASP+ exam, this book will help you by providing a combination of 1,000 questions that cover the five CASP+ domains and by including easy-to-understand explanations of both right and wrong answers.
If you're just starting to prepare for the CASP+ exam, we highly recommend that you use CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner+ (CASP+) Study Guide to help you learn about each of the domains covered by the CASP+ exam. Once you're ready to test your knowledge, use this book to help find places where you might need to study more or to practice for the exam itself.
Because this is a companion to CASP+ Study Guide, this book is designed to be similar to taking the CASP+ exam. It contains multi-part scenarios as well as standard multiple-choice questions similar to those you may encounter on the certification exam.
CompTIA
CompTIA is a nonprofit trade organization that offers certification in a variety of IT areas, ranging from the skills that a PC support technician needs, which are covered on the A+ exam, to advanced skills like the CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+) certification. CompTIA divides its exams into four categories based on the skill level required for the exam and the topics it covers, as shown here:
| Infrastructure | Core | Cybersecurity | Additional Professional |
| Cloud+ Linux+ Server+ | ITF+ A+ Network+ Security+ | CySA+ PenTest+CASP+ | CTT+ Cloud Essentials+ Project+ |
As you can see, the CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner+ certification fits into the Cybersecurity category, which is the same place you'll find the popular A+, Network+, and Security+ credentials. The CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner+ exam is a more advanced exam, intended for professionals with 10 years of hands-on experience who possess the knowledge covered by all of the prior exams.
CompTIA certifications are ISO and ANSI accredited, and they are used throughout multiple industries as a measure of technical skill and knowledge. In addition, CompTIA certifications, including the Security+ and the CASP+, have been approved by the U.S. government as information assurance baseline certifications and are included in the State Department's Skills Incentive Program.
The CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner+ Exam
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
