CompTIA CySA+ and CSAP

I recently took the CompTIA CSA+ exam in order to renew my Security+ and Network+. The logo and PDF certificate were available for download the next business day in CompTIA's certification website. You'll need to create an account (using your CompTIA ID) in order to view your certification history and progress. This is different from the Pearson VUE CompTIA portal which is only used for taking the exam.

The CompTIA certificate kit, which includes the hard copy cert and wallet ID, will be shipped after 5 business days and after you've confirmed your name and shipping address on the Demographics tab. The delivery takes about 8 weeks.


My cert still shows CSA+ but CompTIA will start using CySA+ effectively by June 29, 2018.


Earning a higher-level cert such as CySA+ will automatically renew lower-level cert (extend another 3 years) such as Security+, Network+ and A+.


CompTIA has several stackable certification and one of those that I've earned by stacking together Security+ and CySA+ is the CompTIA Security Analytics Professional (CSAP).


Here's how the CSAP cert looks like. CompTIA stackable cert are colored blue and it's not available in hard copy. This is different from CompTIA CASP (CAS-003) which is my next goal when I re-certify in 2021.
