Key Findings – Advanced Security
9
Acceptance of the exam depends on Government general acceptance of the new certification and
applicability to 8570.
The advanced security exam should concentrate on new technologies that demand a concentration in
security aspects, such as IPv6, VoIP, and SaaS.
The exam should be part of a vendor certification (as an elective).
The exam should be performance-based.
An advanced level security exam would be good to pursue.

Performance Based Questions
19
•For performance based items, the CASP candidate will be given a scenario/problem, and will be prompted to push a button to launch a simulated environment that is created via software.
•The simulated environment should be familiar to a security professional with the level of experience recommended for the CASP exam.
•Once the simulation is launched, the candidate will need to perform whatever tasks s/he believes appropriate, based on the given scenario and the tools/information that are provided in the question.

CASP Discussion Points
20
•The exam will have up to 80 questions. One of several “forms” of the exam is presented to each candidate. The number of questions may vary from one form to the next, up to 80.
•All forms are internally balanced for objective weight and question difficulty, but the number of questions may differ.
•For this reason, a single scaled score for the CASP exam is not workable, and a Pass or Fail score will be awarded.
•All candidates will receive a report showing the objective areas where questions were missed and further study or experience is needed.
