The CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+) exam, which is now exam number CAS-004, doesn't use the number 250-586. There's no official Broadcom exam with that number. It's possible you've encountered outdated or incorrect information.

If you're interested in the CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) exam, here are the main points covered:

The CASP+ exam focuses on advanced security concepts and hands-on skills. Key areas include:

• Risk Management: Identifying, assessing, and mitigating security risks. This includes risk analysis methodologies, vulnerability management, and creating risk mitigation plans.

• Security Architecture & Engineering: Designing secure networks and systems. This involves understanding different architectures, security protocols (like TLS, IPSec, etc.), cryptography, and secure coding practices.

• Cryptography: Understanding various cryptographic algorithms, key management, digital signatures, and PKI. You'll need to know how these technologies work and their strengths and weaknesses.

• Incident Response: Handling security incidents, including investigation, containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident activity.

• Security Operations: Managing security devices and tools, including intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), firewalls, SIEM systems, and security information and event management (SIEM).

• Cloud Security: Securing cloud environments, including IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. This covers security considerations specific to cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP.

• Software Defined Networking (SDN): Understanding the security implications of SDN and how to secure SDN architectures.

• Wireless Security: Securing wireless networks, including understanding various protocols and vulnerabilities.

• Operational Security: Best practices for securing physical security, data, and systems.

• Threat Intelligence: Gathering and analyzing threat information to improve security posture.

The exam emphasizes hands-on skills and problem-solving, requiring you to apply your knowledge to realistic scenarios. You should be comfortable with command-line interfaces and troubleshooting network issues.
