Your Path to IT Success: CompTIA SecAI+ CY0-001 (V1) Certification
The CompTIA SecAI+ CY0-001 (V1) certification validates the foundational and practical skills required to secure artificial intelligence systems, manage AI-related risks, and apply AI responsibly within modern cybersecurity environments. This course is your complete guide to mastering AI security concepts, threats, controls, and governance practices needed to pass the SecAI+ exam and confidently work with AI-enabled systems.
Designed for IT and cybersecurity professionals, this course delivers clear, scenario-driven knowledge that bridges traditional cybersecurity principles with the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence. You’ll learn how AI systems are built, how they can be attacked, how they can be protected, and how AI itself can be used to enhance security operations.
This course is aligned with the official CompTIA SecAI+ CY0-001 (V1) exam blueprint and covers the following domains:
1.0 Basic AI Concepts Related to Cybersecurity (17%)
Build a solid foundation in AI and machine learning concepts as they relate to cybersecurity, including AI models, training data, inference, common AI use cases, and how AI systems differ from traditional software from a security perspective.
2.0 Securing AI Systems (40%)
Learn how to protect AI systems across their entire lifecycle, from data collection and model training to deployment and ongoing monitoring. Topics include adversarial attacks, data poisoning, model theft, prompt injection, secure architectures, access controls, and AI-specific threat mitigation techniques.
3.0 AI-assisted Security (24%)
Understand how AI can be used to enhance cybersecurity, including threat detection, anomaly detection, automation, SOC operations, incident response, and decision support. You’ll evaluate both the benefits and limitations of AI-driven security tools.
4.0 AI Governance, Risk, and Compliance (19%)
Explore AI governance frameworks, ethical considerations, privacy concerns, regulatory requirements, and risk management strategies. Learn how organizations establish responsible AI usage policies while meeting legal, compliance, and security obligations.
By the end of this course, you’ll be fully prepared to pass the CompTIA SecAI+ CY0-001 (V1) exam and confidently identify, assess, secure, and govern AI systems in real-world cybersecurity environments.
