The CASP certification was developed by the Computer Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) to provide an industry-wide means of certifying the competency of security professionals who have 10 years' experience in IT administration and at least 5 years' hands-on technical experience. The security professional's job is to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of an organization's valuable information assets. As such, these individuals need to have the ability to apply critical thinking and judgment.According to CompTIA, the CASP certification “is a vendor-neutral credential.” The CASP validates “advanced-level security skills and knowledge” internationally. There is no prerequisite, but “CASP certification is intended to follow CompTIA Security+ or equivalent experience and has a technical, ‘hands-on’ focus at the enterprise level.”Many certification books present material for you to memorize before the exam, but this book goes a step further in that it offers best practices, tips, and hands-on exercises that help those in the field of security better protect critical assets, build defense in depth, and accurately assess risk.If you're preparing to take the CASP exam, it is a good idea to find as much information as possible about computer security practices and techniques. Because this test is designed for those with years of experience, you will be better prepared by having the most handson experience possible; this study guide was written with this in mind. We have included hands-on exercises, real-world scenarios, and review questions at the end of each chapter to give you some idea as to what the exam is like. You should be able to answer at least 90 percent of the test questions in this book correctly before attempting the exam; if you're unable to do so, reread the chapter and try the questions again. Your score should improve.
