Real questions from real professionals who passed.
Here's
how we answer them.
CompTIA SecAI+ (CY0-001) is the industry’s first vendor-neutral certification focused on AI security. It validates your ability to secure AI systems, use AI to enhance security operations, and govern AI responsibly. CompTIA created it because 90% of organizations are expected to adopt AI by 2026, yet 73% of security leaders report a shortage of AI security talent.
SecAI+ is the first certification in CompTIA’s new Expansion Series. This tier adds specialized skills on top of existing Plus (+) certifications rather than replacing them. SecAI+ builds on Security+ by extending foundational security knowledge into AI systems, AI threats, and AI governance. CompTIA plans additional AI expansions for CySA+, PenTest+, and other pathways.
Security+ validates traditional security skills. SecAI+ validates your ability to defend against AI-powered threats like automated phishing, deepfakes, and prompt injection attacks. It also covers securing the AI tools your organization is deploying, including LLMs, copilots, and RAG systems. For Security+ holders, SecAI+ is the natural next step to stay current as AI reshapes both attacks and defenses.
CompTIA recommends 3 to 4 years of IT experience and approximately 2 years of hands-on cybersecurity experience. Security+, CySA+, or PenTest+ is recommended as a foundation. You do not need machine learning or data science experience. SecAI+ is designed for security professionals, not AI developers.
SecAI+ covers four domains. Domain 1 (17%) covers AI concepts including LLMs, deep learning, prompt engineering, and data security. Domain 2 (40%) is the largest and covers securing AI systems, threat modeling with OWASP and MITRE ATLAS, implementing guardrails, and analyzing attacks like prompt injection and model poisoning. Domain 3 (24%) covers using AI for security tasks like anomaly detection and incident response, plus how attackers use AI. Domain 4 (19%) covers AI governance, responsible AI principles, and compliance with the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO standards.
The SecAI+ exam is 60 minutes with a maximum of 60 questions. Question types include multiple choice and performance-based. The passing score is 600 on a scale of 100 to 900. The exam costs $359 USD.
Yes. Most organizations already use AI in email security, endpoint detection, SIEM platforms, and productivity tools like Microsoft Copilot. Shadow AI is also a growing risk as employees adopt unsanctioned AI tools. SecAI+ prepares you to identify, govern, and secure AI across your environment, even when AI is not explicitly part of your job title.
The 4-day bootcamp includes expert instruction from full-time CompTIA instructors, complete coverage of all four domains, an exam voucher, a free retake, a mobile study app, onsite testing options, and practice exams with performance-based question drills. Training Camp has over 25 years of CompTIA training experience.
AI security engineers earn significantly more than traditional security roles. The average salary in the United States is approximately $153,000 per year, with a typical range of $145,000 to $229,000 depending on experience and location. Top earners exceed $280,000 annually. These figures reflect the scarcity of qualified candidates combined with high employer demand. As AI adoption accelerates and regulations like the EU AI Act take effect, compensation for professionals who can secure and govern AI systems is expected to continue rising.
More than you might think. According to McKinsey, 88% of organizations now use AI regularly, and the average company deploys AI across three different business functions. Large enterprises report even higher numbers, with 87% having implemented AI solutions. These systems include LLMs, copilots, chatbots, recommendation engines, fraud detection, predictive analytics, and security tools. Add shadow AI, where employees use unsanctioned AI tools without IT approval, and the attack surface grows further. In 2023, 77% of businesses reported a breach involving their AI systems. SecAI+ prepares you to identify, assess, and secure AI across your entire environment.
