• CIN will be sunsetting the official CIN app! The app will be turned off on Saturday, August 1st. Thank you to everyone who used the app to post updates. It just was not adopted as much as hoped. This is ONLY the mobile app. The CIN community is not being affected. :)

Good Afternoon Cinners!

Hope you had an enjoyable weekend and are ready for a productive week. A colleague asked if CompTIA is moving toward Master level certifications. He advised that a colleague of his shared this information.

Is there any truth to this?

Lastly, where can I access documentation on the Security+ 701 outline and the CYSA+ CSO-003

Thanks.

Yes, CompTIA is going forward with the Xpert series:

  • SecurityX - This is a rebranding of the CASP+. Security cert.
  • DataX - Expert certification for Data Science
  • CloudNetX - Networking, hybrid IT infrastructures and architecture.

I wish they had not decided to rebrand CASP+. It was just starting to get some name recognition in the industry and rebranding it will confuse hiring managers.
I'd say they are trying to further leverage the word "Security." I agree...CompTIA will have a lot of work updating the CASP+ brand/requirement to SecurityX.
