CompTIA SecurityX CAS-005 is the current V5 exam, formerly CASP+, for advanced cybersecurity practitioners who design, engineer, integrate, and implement secure solutions across complex enterprise environments. CompTIA lists CAS-005 as launched December 17, 2024, with a maximum of 90 multiple-choice and performance-based questions, a maximum testing time of 165 minutes, and pass/fail scoring with no scaled score. Recommended experience is at least 10 years of general hands-on IT experience, including five years of hands-on security, with Network+, Security+, CySA+, Cloud+, PenTest+, or equivalent knowledge. The V5 objective weights are Governance, Risk, and Compliance 20%, Security Architecture 27%, Security Engineering 31%, and Security Operations 22%. Candidates schedule through Pearson VUE and should use SecurityX CAS-005 materials rather than legacy CASP+ CAS-004 outlines.
Confirm the current handbook, scheduler rules, and ID requirements before you commit to a study or booking plan.
Use the official blueprint and a timed baseline to decide what needs review, drilling, or remediation first.
Run timed sets or full-length practice under the same delivery conditions you expect on exam day whenever possible.
Decide whether to sit CompTIA SecurityX (CAS-005) now, delay briefly, or rebuild fundamentals based on measurable readiness instead of hope.
Use the guide to self-serve, or talk to a coordinator if you need help mapping timelines, official requirements, or troubleshooting day-of logistics.
