Courses

The MDTS Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP) certification course is a comprehensive,
vendor-neutral, advanced-level cybersecurity program designed for experienced professionals
who architect, engineer, and implement enterprise-level security solutions. The program validates
technical mastery in risk management, enterprise security operations, integration, and incident response.

While there are no mandatory prerequisites, this course is designed to follow Security+ or equivalent
experience. It emphasizes hands-on technical application across diverse, complex networks,
preparing students for the CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+) exam and high-level
cybersecurity roles requiring deep analytical and problem-solving skills.
