CompTIA CASP+ CAS-004: Advanced Security Practitioner 2026

The CASP+ CAS-004 is not a memorization exam — it is a scenario-basedassessment that tests whether you can think and act like a senior securityarchitect. This course is built to meet that standard. Every module is engineered around the four exam domains with the depth anddecision-level thinking CompTIA actually tests — not surface definitions,but real architectural reasoning under constraints.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━WHAT THIS COURSE COVERS━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━▸ Security Architecture (29%)Design Zero Trust architectures using NIST 800-207, SASE, ZTNA, andmicrosegmentation. Secure multi-cloud, andCNAPP. Architect resilient network defenses with NGFW, ZTNA, SD-WAN, andDMZ design.

Apply FIDO2, PAM, and idedenvironments. ▸ Security Operations (30%)Execute the full NIST 800-61 incidentdigitalforensics using Volatility 3, FTK Imager, and Windows artifact analysis. Build threat intelligence programs usT&CK,and hypothesis-driven threat hunting.

Analyze malware with static anddynamic techniques and respond to rancompliance obligations intact. ▸ Security Engineering & Cryptography (26%)Select the right algorithm for every ,Ed25519, and SHA-3 for current deployments; ML-KEM (FIPS 203) and ML-DSA(FIPS 204) for the post-quantum era. Design enterprise PKI hierarchies withoffline root CAs, OCSP Stapling, and vSecOpspipelines with SAST, DAST, SCA, and supply chain controls.

HardenKubernetes, containers, and IaC deplo▸ Governance, Risk & Compliance (15%)Quantify risk using SLE, ALE, and FAIR. Apply NIST CSF 2. 0, ISO 27001, andCIS Controls v8 to real organizationaIPAA,PCI DSS v4.

That is the skill the CASP+ tests.

You will also learn the exam traps that trip up well-prepared candidates:when to pick FIDO2 over TOTP, why OCSseparateBOLA from BFLA, and why "add more firewalls" is almost never the rightanswer to an identity problem. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━WHO THIS IS FOR━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━▸ Security+ holders ready to advance▸ Security engineers targeting senior or cloud security architect roles▸ DoD and federal contractors needingce▸ Experienced practitioners who want vendor-neutral, architect-level mastery━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━If you are ready to stop thinking likking likethe person who designs the architectuEnroll now and let's build the mindset that passes CASP+.
