ISACA revamps CSX certification

ISACA has announced updates to the CSX Practitioner Certification (CSXP) examination, including a transition to online, remotely proctored exams for greater scheduling and location flexibility around the globe.

In addition, the CSXP exam has been revamped to fully align with the latest job requirements of cybersecurity practitioners and enable test-takers to demonstrate the hands-on skills companies need to meet today’s cyber threats.

CSXP is designed to measure technical skills and abilities in a virtual setting using real-world cybersecurity scenarios.

“No two corporate networks are identical,” said Matt Loeb, ISACA CEO. “This revamped certification equips cybersecurity professionals to demonstrate their cyber incident prevention, detection and response skills across diverse, ever-changing environments.”

To meet continuing professional education requirements, those holding the CSXP certification must annually submit CPEs, which may be either knowledge- or skills-based, and they must retest in year three of their certification cycle.

The new exam is in beta launch through to April and is available for US$199. There are no prerequisites to take the exam.
