Comparison of exam objectives of SYO-501 & SYO-601

The new CompTIA Security+ SYO-601 exam has fewer exam objectives (topics) than the SYO-501 exam. CompTIA Security+ SY0-501 covers 37 exam objectives under six domains. On the other hand, SY0-601 will cover 35 objectives under 5 domains. Moreover, the SY0-601 exam objectives include more examples under each objective. According to CompTIA, the number of examples is increased by about 25% in the objectives of the updated version (SYO-601). Examples are added to understand the concept behind each objective. It will further help the IT professional to prepare for the certification exam and for the job roles as well.

What is expected to remain the same?
Job roles

Job roles using CompTIA Security+ will remain unchanged. After successfully earning the certification, the candidates can secure the following titles:
System Administrator
Security Administrator
Security Specialist
Security Engineer
Network Administrator
Security Consultant
Junior IT Auditor/ Penetration Tester

Which exam to take?

The CompTIA Security+ certification’s validity lasts for three years from the day a candidate passes the exam. If a candidate passes the exam a day before its date of retirement, certification still holds the validity for three years. Therefore, candidates need to choose the exam as per their convenience and availability.
