CompTIA Security+ SY0-801 (V8)

CompTIA Security+ SY0-801 is the upcoming Security+ version, also referred to as CompTIA Security+ V8. Security+ remains CompTIA’s vendor-neutral foundational cybersecurity certification. This page is for the new CompTIA Security+ exam series coded SY0-801. SkillsNest has not published SY0-801 training yet.

The current SkillsNest Security+ certification page is CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 at /certifications/comptia-security-sy0-701. If you are preparing for the live Security+ exam today, that is the page to use. This SY0-801 page exists so people searching for Security+ SY0-801, Security+ V8 or the upcoming Security+ certification can find a stable URL as SkillsNest adds resources.

Security+ is aimed at people building core cybersecurity knowledge rather than a single vendor’s product line. Typical paths include IT support or networking moving into security, and learners who want a vendor-neutral foundation before more specialised certifications. Completing a course or passing the exam does not guarantee a job.

SkillsNest shows Security+ SY0-801 learning and exam-preparation resources on this page from live catalogue data. A course, practice questions and mock exams appear here when they are published. Final SY0-801 exam details such as domain weights, question count, duration, pricing and passing score are not listed here until they are confirmed. SkillsNest will update this page as verified information becomes available. SkillsNest is not affiliated with or endorsed by CompTIA.
