CompTIA SecurityX

Course Details

CompTIA SecurityX is a hands-on, performance-based certification for advanced cybersecurity practitioners responsible for securing complex enterprise environments. While entry-level or managerial certifications focus on defining security policies, SecurityX certified professionals are skilled in implementing the technical solutions that meet governance, risk, and compliance requirements.

This focused eLearning course prepares learners for the SecurityX exam by developing the ability to design, engineer, and manage resilient security architectures across modern infrastructures. It covers core areas such as governance and risk management, security engineering, identity and access management, cryptography, and security operations, with an emphasis on real-world threats including cloud and AI-driven attacks.

By the end of the course, learners will be equipped to assess risk, implement secure architectures, and protect critical assets in highly regulated environments, gaining the expertise and confidence needed to succeed in the CompTIA SecurityX certification and advance their cybersecurity career.

This CompTIA SecurityX course includes the following features:

• Instructor-led demonstrations and visual presentations to develop your skills based on real-world scenarios.
• Unlike a live class, you can fast-forward, repeat or rewind all your lectures. This gives you all the benefit of hands-on training with the flexibility of doing it around your schedule 24/7.
• Practice exams prepare you for your exams. These exams are on average 100 questions to ensure you are 100% prepared if you are taking a certification exam.
• You can also interact and collaborate with other students through our forums, student contributions and announcement features.
