CompTIA SecAI+ (CY0-001) Video Training & Practice Exam

Product Overview

Your organization is already running AI. Can you secure it? Mike Meyers and the Total Seminars team bring you this CompTIA SecAI+ (CY0-001) video and practice exam bundle, taught by Michael Solomon. It pairs 9+ hours of instructor-led lessons and demos with 90 practice questions, all mapped to the official CY0-001 objectives.

First, you build the AI fundamentals the exam assumes, from model types and training methods through prompt engineering and retrieval-augmented generation. Then you model threats with the OWASP LLM Top 10 and MITRE ATLAS. After that, you harden models with guardrails, gateways, and prompt firewalls, then lock down access, encryption, and monitoring. Finally, you turn AI loose on your own security work and close with governance and global compliance.

Nearly half the exam sits in a single domain, Securing AI Systems, and the video course gives it four full chapters. Then TotalTester shows you exactly which objectives still need work before exam day. Get certified the best way, with TotalVideo + TotalTester!

Certification Alignment

This bundle maps directly to all four official CompTIA SecAI+ (CY0-001) exam domains. The exam breaks down as follows.

• Basic AI Concepts Related to Cybersecurity (17%) — AI types and techniques, model training, prompt engineering, data security for AI, and the AI life cycle
• Securing AI Systems (40%) — threat modeling, model and gateway controls, access controls, data security, monitoring and auditing, and attack analysis
• AI-assisted Security (24%) — AI-enabled security tools, the ways AI enhances attack vectors, and automating security tasks
• AI Governance, Risk, and Compliance (19%) — governance structures and AI roles, responsible AI and risk, and global compliance

Career Impact

SecAI+ proves you can secure the AI systems your organization already runs, not just describe them. It is a specialty credential in CompTIA’s Expansion Series, so it builds on core security skills rather than replacing them.

• Prepares you for roles such as AI Security Architect, AI Governance Engineer, and AI Risk Analyst
• Also fits SOC analysts and security engineers who now defend models, agents, and data pipelines
• Covers the frameworks employers ask about, including the OWASP LLM Top 10, MITRE ATLAS, and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework
• Builds naturally on CompTIA Security+ and pairs well with CySA+ for a complete AI and core security skill set

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, you can do the following.

• Compare AI types, training methods, and model architectures, from machine learning through transformers and GANs.
• Apply prompt engineering and template enforcement to reduce injection risk.
• Secure AI data with lineage, provenance, watermarking, and governed RAG retrieval.
• Build an AI threat model using the OWASP LLM Top 10 and MITRE ATLAS.
• Design model guardrails, AI gateways, and prompt firewalls that hold up under attack.
• Implement access, encryption, and rate controls across models, agents, and APIs.
• Monitor AI systems for cost abuse, bias, hallucination, and evidence of attack.
• Use AI to accelerate SOC work, and recognize how attackers use the same tools.
• Apply AI governance, responsible AI principles, and global compliance requirements.

Prerequisites

You need no prior certification to start. However, CompTIA recommends three to four years of IT experience and roughly two years of hands-on cybersecurity experience before attempting CY0-001. Neither one is a formal requirement.

This course suits security professionals who now have AI in their environment and need to secure it. You should understand core security concepts such as access control, encryption, and logging. Prior AI experience helps, but the course builds the fundamentals from the ground up. Chapter 0 also walks you through setting up the demo environment before the technical chapters begin.

About the Expert

Course Outline

The video course runs 12 chapters and 61 video lessons. Together, they cover all four CompTIA SecAI+ (CY0-001) exam domains. The course is organized into five modules.

Getting Started and AI Architecture

First, you get oriented to the exam and set up the demo environment. Then you build the architectural vocabulary every later chapter depends on.

Prompts, Data, and Retrieval

Next, you look at how people and data actually reach a model. These two chapters cover the prompt layer and the data layer, and both are attack surfaces.

Guardrails, Infrastructure, and Access

Now you move from identifying risk to blocking it. These chapters build the defensive layers, from model guardrails out to network and encryption controls.

Monitoring and AI-Assisted Security

Controls only help if you watch them. First you monitor and audit AI systems, then you put AI to work on your own security operations.

Governance, Risk, and Regulation

Finally, you step back to the organizational view. This module covers who owns AI risk, what responsible AI means in practice, and which regulations apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the CompTIA SecAI+ (CY0-001) bundle?

Is this course aligned to the latest CompTIA SecAI+ exam version?

Yes. This bundle aligns to the current CompTIA SecAI+ (CY0-001) exam objectives. It covers all four official domains, from Basic AI Concepts Related to Cybersecurity through AI Governance, Risk, and Compliance.

How does TotalTester help me prepare?

Do I need AI experience before starting?

No. The course builds AI fundamentals from the ground up, starting with model types, training methods, and prompt engineering. Security experience matters more here than AI experience.

What prior knowledge do I need before starting?

CompTIA recommends three to four years of IT experience and roughly two years of hands-on cybersecurity experience. However, none of that is required. You should be comfortable with core security concepts such as access control, encryption, and logging.
