SecAI+ CY0-001
CompTIA's SecAI+ (launched February 2026 in the Expansion Series) is organized into four domains, and the weighting is lopsided: Securing AI Systems alone is 40% of the CY0-001 exam. Knowing the split tells you where your study hours actually pay off.

AI and machine-learning fundamentals through a security lens — model types, training versus inference, generative AI, and the terminology the other three domains build on.
The heart of the exam: threats against AI systems — prompt injection, data poisoning, model theft, insecure integrations — and the controls, testing, and hardening that protect the AI lifecycle.
Using AI as a defender: AI-augmented detection, triage, and response in security operations, plus the limits and failure modes of AI-assisted tooling.
Governance programs, risk management, and regulatory and privacy considerations for AI adoption, including responsible-AI requirements.
Four: Basic AI Concepts Related to Cybersecurity (17%), Securing AI Systems (40%), AI-assisted Security (24%), and AI Governance, Risk, and Compliance (19%). The exam has a maximum of 60 questions in 60 minutes, with a passing score of 600 on a 100–900 scale.
Securing AI Systems at 40% — nearly half the exam. If you're short on study time, prioritize AI threats (prompt injection, data poisoning, model theft) and their mitigations.
There are no formal prerequisites, but CompTIA recommends 3–4 years of IT experience and roughly 2 years of hands-on cybersecurity experience — about Security+, CySA+, or PenTest+ level.
550 questions across 25 exams, weighted to match the CY0-001 domains above. 3 free — no signup.
