CASP+ (CAS-004) Cert Prep: 3 Security Engineering and Cryptography

Course details

The CASP+ (CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner+) (CAS-004) certification is a vendor-neutral certification that validates your knowledge and ability to conduct advanced-level cybersecurity skills. Designed for the advanced-level technical cybersecurity professional certification, the certification exam tests your ability to implement solutions within cybersecurity policies and frameworks. This third course in the series from information technology and cybersecurity expert Jason Dion focuses on security engineering and cryptography topics covered in the exam. After a brief review of the prerequisite courses, Jason dives into topics covering enterprise mobility, endpoint security controls, cloud technologies, symmetric and asymmetric algorithms, and public key infrastructure.
