Introducing the CompTIA CASP Exam
- Seth Misenar
- Friday, September 20th, 7:15pm - 8:15pm
Seth Misenar, coauthor of Syngress CISSP Study Guide with Eric Conrad, will introduce you to the new CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner certification, a hands-on technical exam with a mix of deeper technical questions, as well as higher-level management questions. The CASP was recently added to DoD 8570 for the following roles: IAT level III, IAM II, and IASAE level I and II.
Will this cert be a valuable addition to your resume? Will this cert bleed significant market share from the CISSP? Now that it has been added to DoD8570, will CASP become the go to DoD cert? Come find out where CASP fits into the security certification landscape and see if Eric and Seth's new SANS prep course for the CASP is right for you.
