CompTIA is replacing the Security+ SY0-701 exam with the new SY0-801 (V8). In this video, I break down exactly what's new, what's changed, and what's been removed — including the new AI topics (LLMs, AI threats, and AI in automation), the shift in domain weightings, and whether you should sit 701 now or wait for 801.
