The future of cybersecurity just got smarter. CompTIA has officially launched SecAI+, the industry’s first certification focused on securing, governing, and responsibly integrating artificial intelligence into cybersecurity operations. After months of anticipation and development, SecAI+ is now available for pre-order and launches on February 17, 2026— and there’s never been a better time to prepare and get certified!
What Is CompTIA SecAI+?
CompTIA SecAI+ (Security Artificial Intelligence Plus) represents a groundbreaking expansion in cybersecurity certification. Designed as the very first in CompTIA’s new Expansion Series, this credential equips professionals with the practical skills needed to secure AI systems, strengthen threat detection, automate workflows, and embed responsible AI governance across organizations.
Why is this important? As AI capabilities become embedded across business systems, cloud services, and security platforms, cybersecurity professionals must evolve their skill sets to safeguard not just traditional infrastructure — but the AI models, data pipelines, and automated defenses that power modern operations. SecAI+ fills that gap with vendor-neutral, real-world coverage applicable across industries and environments.
Key Skills You’ll Master
With SecAI+, you’ll learn how to:
- Secure AI systems and architecture — protecting sensitive data, models, and infrastructures from adversarial threats.
- Leverage AI to enhance security operations — automating detection, incident response, and threat analysis.
- Navigate AI governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) — meeting ethical, legal, and international standards for AI.
- Defend against AI-driven attacks like prompt injection, training-data poisoning, and automated malware.
This combination of defensive skill sets and operational insights makes SecAI+ a must-have for mid-career cybersecurity professionals.
Who Should Pursue SecAI+?
SecAI+ is designed for experienced IT and cybersecurity practitioners — including:
- Security Analysts
- SOC Analysts
- Security Engineers
- AI Security Specialists
- Cloud, Risk & Compliance Professionals
CompTIA recommends candidates have 3–4 years of IT experience, including at least 2 years in cybersecurity, and prior certifications like Security+, CySA+, or PenTest+ are strongly suggested before attempting SecAI+.
Launch & Availability
The SecAI+ exam (Exam Code: CY0-001) launches on February 17, 2026 and is now open for pre-order. Early adopters can get ahead of the curve and begin preparing today.
Whether you’re looking to future-proof your career or take on advanced security roles involving AI systems, earning this certification will position you at the forefront of tomorrow’s cybersecurity landscape.
