The CompTIA CAS-004 and CAS-005 exams are part of the same certification pathway but have some key differences:
- CompTIA CAS-004 Exam: The CompTIA CAS-004 Exam focuses on validating the job tasks performed by security professionals with 10 years of IT experience and 5 years of security experience. It emphasizes hands-on security knowledge and real-world scenarios, making it ideal for practitioners rather than managers.
- CompTIA CAS-005 Exam: The CompTIA CAS-005 Exam is designed to enhance the skills of senior security engineers and security architects. It includes updated content to reflect the latest advancements in cybersecurity and covers more advanced topics such as security architecture, incident response, and risk management.
