Comparison of exam objectives of SY0-501 & SY0-601

The Cryptography & PKI and Identity & Access management domains are the fourth and sixth domains of the Security+ SY0-501 exam. These two domains are merged into the ‘Architecture & Design’ and ‘Implementation’ domains of the new Security+ SY0-601 exam. The public key infrastructure (PKI), Wireless security settings, Identity & access management topics are merged in the ‘Implementation’ domain.
Operations and incidence response domain

In the present time, an IT professional must have the ability to respond to security-related incidents. The incidence response was introduced as an objective in the Risk management domain in SY0-501. The new Security+ SY0-601 has created a separate domain for Operations and incidence response. It covers procedures of incidence response, attack frameworks, and key aspects of digital forensic.
Governance, Risk, and compliance

The SY0-501 exam emphasized on the risk management and created a separate domain for it. In the updated version (SY0-601), the ‘Risk management’ domain is merged in the ‘Governance, Risk, and compliance’ domain. The updated version covers risk management processes, regulations, and policies necessary for the organization’s Security.
The CompTIA Security+ SY0-601 Exam has fewer exam objectives than the SY0-501 exam. CompTIA Security+ SY0-501 covers 37 exam objectives. In comparison, SY0-601 is expected to cover 35 objectives under 5 domains.
The SY0-601 exam objectives have more examples listed under each objective. The number of examples is increased by about 25%. These Examples help understand the concept behind each objective and prepare the candidates for job roles in the cybersecurity domain.
