CSX-P-Cyber Security Practitioner Certification
The Certified Cybersecurity Practitioner (CSX-P) certification, offered by ISACA, is a performance-based credential that evaluates a candidate’s practical skills in real-world cybersecurity scenarios. Unlike traditional exams, the CSX-P requires candidates to demonstrate their abilities in a live, virtual environment.
Exam Details:
- Exam Code: CSX-P
- Format: The exam is a 4-hour, performance-based assessment with no multiple-choice questions or simulations. Candidates must complete tasks of varying durations with minimal instruction, navigating between multiple virtual machines to demonstrate a variety of skills and working knowledge.
- Content Areas: The exam covers five key security functions derived from the NIST Cybersecurity Framework:
- Identify: Understanding the business and security environment, including digital infrastructure, enterprise architecture, data communication, networks, operating systems, applications, and virtualization.
- Protect: Implementing measures to safeguard digital and data assets, managing ports and protocols, deploying protection technologies, overseeing identity and access management, and handling configuration management.
- Detect: Monitoring systems to identify cybersecurity events and anomalies.
- Respond: Developing and implementing appropriate activities to take action regarding detected cybersecurity incidents.
- Recover: Planning and executing strategies for resilience and restoration of capabilities or services impaired during cybersecurity incidents.
- Maintenance: To maintain the CSX-P certification, holders must earn and report Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits and pay an annual maintenance fee.
