CompTIA Security+ SYO-501

CompTIA Security+ certification is a fundamental certification that validates the baseline skills and equips candidates with the core knowledge essential for any cybersecurity role. It is one of the most sought out credentials among IT professionals. The certification is compliant with ISO 17024 standards and approved by the US Department of Defense (DoD) to meet directive 8140/8570.01-M requirements. CompTIA updates the exam version every three years. The current Security+ SYO-501 is going to be retired in 2021. The new Security+ SYO-601 is going to release in November 2020.

To earn the Security+ certification, candidates have to pass the SYO-501 exam. The certification focuses more on hands-on practical knowledge, which is tested through performance-based questions in the examination.

Candidates have to attempt 90 multiple-choice and performance-based questions (MCQs) in 90 minutes and score 750 to pass the CompTIA Security+ exam successfully.

The current CompTIA Security+ SYO-501 exam covers six domains, whereas the new SYO-601 exam covers only five domains focusing on skillsets required for the current industry roles.
