CompTIA Security+ SY0-801 is getting attention because of the expected changes to its exam objectives, particularly around AI security, emerging threats, and security operations. Although the final exam details haven't been officially confirmed, the draft objectives suggest some interesting updates compared with SY0-701.

According to a detailed breakdown published by Cert Empire , the upcoming version is expected to retain five domains, with revised weightings. Security Operations could remain the largest domain at 27%, followed by Threats, Vulnerabilities, and Attacks at 24%.

One important change is the expected inclusion of AI-related security topics, such as prompt injection, data poisoning, deepfake attacks, and AI-assisted threat detection. These additions make sense considering how AI is changing modern cybersecurity environments.

The article also discusses exam costs. While SY0-801 pricing hasn't been announced, the current SY0-701 voucher price of $439 is used as a reference. The article estimates that approximately 75–80% of the existing exam content may carry over.

I found the domain comparison particularly useful because it helps candidates understand which existing Security+ topics remain relevant and where additional preparation might be necessary.
