Description

CompTIA SecAI+ enables a safer digital future by empowering IT and cybersecurity talent worldwide to meet the emerging challenges and opportunities at the intersection of AI and security.

The CompTIA SecAI+ Certification Prep Course is designed to prepare learners for the CY0-001 exam. This course equips cybersecurity professionals with the practical skills needed to develop practical, job-ready skills for recognizing and responding to AI-driven threats, such as prompt injection, model abuse, data leakage, and adversarial attacks. They will be able to apply secure-by-design principles to AI use cases, policies, and workflows. SecAI+ also provides a verifiable way to demonstrate your skills to employers, helping you stand out in a competitive market.

This course covers the core domains tested on the SecAI+ exam: Basic AI Concepts Related to Cybersecurity, Securing AI Systems, AI-assisted Security, and AI Governance, Risk, and Compliance. Participants will develop the knowledge and hands-on skills required to understand important AI concepts, secure AI systems using various technical controls, leverage AI to enhance corporate security posture while automating security tasks, and understand how governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) impacts AI technologies on a global scale.

Course Objectives

In this course, you will learn how to:

• Apply foundational and advanced AI concepts to strengthen organizational cybersecurity.
• Implement robust security controls and best practices for protecting AI systems and data.
• Leverage AI-driven tools to enhance threat detection, response, and automation of security operations.
• Navigate global governance, risk, and compliance frameworks to ensure responsible AI adoption.

Who Should Attend?

The CompTIA SecAI+ certification course is ideal for those who currently hold a CompTIA cybersecurity certification, such as Security+, CySA+, PenTest+, or equivalent experience, and are looking to expand their skill set for evolving job roles in the context of AI technologies.

Course Prerequisites

3–4 years of IT experience, including at least 2 years of hands-on cybersecurity experience, plus familiarity with AI-enabled security tools. Having a core certification such as Security+, CySA+, PenTest+ or SecurityX, or equivalent experience, will make SecAI+ much more approachable for you.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Is CCS Learning Academy’s SecAI+ course available self-paced, or only live instructor-led?
A. Since SecAI+ is a brand-new certification (CY0-001), most providers — including CCS — are currently offering it live/instructor-led only, as self-paced content libraries (like CBT Nuggets) haven’t yet built out full SecAI+ catalogs. This is a rare window where CCS could be first-to-market with a self-paced SecAI+ option ahead of larger competitors.

Q. Does CCS Learning Academy offer an exam pass guarantee for SecAI+?
A. [Confirm your actual policy before publishing.] Because this is a new exam, established competitors haven’t yet built out strong guarantee messaging for SecAI+ either — this is a genuine opportunity for CCS to lead the market by offering (and prominently stating) a pass guarantee before competitors catch up.

Q. What is the CompTIA SecAI+ (CY0-001) exam voucher cost?
A. [Confirm current CompTIA pricing — likely in the $400–$470 range based on comparable CompTIA Advanced/Specialty exams but verify directly.] Stating the exact figure on-page positions CCS as an authoritative early source while searching volume for this new cert is still building.

Q. Does CCS Learning Academy bundle Security+ and SecAI+ training together?
A. [Confirm if applicable.] Since SecAI+ is recommended as a follow-on to Security+/CySA+/PenTest+, offering (or highlighting) a bundled discount for candidates taking both in sequence would be a natural upsell competitors haven’t yet formalized for this new certification.

Q. How is CCS Learning Academy’s SecAI+ course content kept current given how new and fast-moving AI security is?
A. [Confirm your update cadence and state it.] Given how quickly AI threats and tooling evolve, explicitly stating how often course content and labs are refreshed (e.g., “updated quarterly to reflect current AI threat models”) is a strong trust signal for a subject this new, and matches the “recently updated” messaging used by competitors like CBT Nuggets on other fast-moving topics.
