The CAS-005 exam is the official exam behind the SecurityX credential from CompTIA. It sits at the Expert level of the CompTIA certification track. It is also associated with CompTIA Security+, CompTIA CySA+, CompTIA PenTest+, CompTIA Cloud+, CompTIA Network+. The ITCertMagic practice questions on this page map to the same objectives, so you can measure your readiness before you book a seat.

The CAS-005 exam contains Up to 90 questions and gives you 165 minutes to complete them. That pace leaves little room for getting stuck, so train yourself to flag a hard question, move on, and circle back later. Run at least one full timed session in the ITCertMagic test engine a week before your exam date to check whether your pacing holds under pressure.

You need Pass/Fail only, no scaled score to pass the CAS-005 exam, and the official registration fee is $512 - $544 USD. A retake means paying that fee again in full, which makes thorough preparation the cheaper option by far. Before scheduling, take a timed ITCertMagic practice test; if you are not scoring comfortably above the passing line, give yourself more study time instead of booking on hope.

No mandatory prerequisites; Recommended: 10+ years of general IT experience, minimum 5 years of hands-on cybersecurity experience, equivalent knowledge to CompTIA Network+, Security+, CySA+, PenTest+, or Cloud+

Requirements can change, so confirm the latest details on the official CompTIA exam page before you register.
