CompTIA SecAI+: New Certification Puts You A Step Up in Cybersecurity
“This new AI cybersecurity certification will be a game-changer for professionals who earn it first.”
That’s what Cyberkraft Founder and CEO Dennis Kraft recently told a room full of cybersecurity professionals at the 2026 AFCEA TechNet Cyber conference in Baltimore, MD.
During an exciting, 2-hour, interactive seminar workshop, Kraft presented advanced AI problems and showed the audience—in real time—how to set up live AI agents to help solve those challenges. And, he told his eager audience how they could develop the skills to do the same: with the CompTIA SecAI+ Certification.
The CompTIA SecAI+ Certification is a potent new opportunity to uplevel your skills in today’s hectic AI era. The professionals who earn this credential will put themselves ten steps ahead of the competition—and know how to protect their organizations from the newest, and even the most dangerous, AI threats.
What is the SecAI+ certification?
The CompTIA SecAI+ certification is the first vendor-neutral certification designed to help you safely, ethically, and skillfully integrate AI into cybersecurity. You’ll learn how to defend and secure AI systems, use AI to facilitate security tasks, detect threats faster, and keep your company’s systems and data safe.
This certification marks a huge milestone in the cybersecurity world because it’s the first credential that focuses on the practical, operational, and nitty-gritty details at the crossroads of AI and cybersecurity.
For professionals in cybersecurity, this new certification can give you a significant professional advantage as you deal with new advances in AI.
What You’ll Learn While Earning Your SecAI+ Certification
Right now, there’s a huge skill gap in the cybersecurity industry. Companies and organizations are using AI, but the majority do not know how to use it in a way that keeps their data safe. Higher-ups are asking their cybersecurity team to do things they were never trained for. Cybersecurity experts are wondering what to do next.
While other cybersecurity teams struggle to figure out how to solve new AI challenges, with the SecAI+ certification, you’ll know exactly what to do to monitor, audit, and protect your company’s data.
The SecAI+ Certification is designed to give you the skills to fill that gap and safely automate security tasks, leverage AI, and implement security controls for AI systems.
With this new certification, you’ll be able to dominate the cybersecurity AI “trifecta.” That means you’ll learn how to:
- Secure AI itself by hardening AI models, data, and infrastructure,
- Use AI to improve upon traditional cybersecurity tasks and activities, and
- Achieve AI governance and keep operations aligned despite fast-moving AI deployments.

Who is the CompTIA SecAI+ certification for?
Cyberprofessionals around the world are rushing to obtain their CompTIA SecAI+ certification. But is it right for you?
The CompTIA SecAI+ certification is for:
- Security and SOC analysts,
- Senior systems administrators,
- Military cyber ops specialists,
- Cybersecurity and IT professionals with 3-4 years of IT experience
- Experts who already hold foundational certifications like CompTIA Security+, CySA+, or SecurityX.
However, if you are just starting out in your career and do not have prior cybersecurity experience, a more foundational course like the CompTIA Network+ certification would be a better choice for you. Since it requires a solid foundation of cybersecurity knowledge and hands-on experience, the CompTIA SecAI+ certification is not for entry-level professionals.
Why The CompTIA SecAI+ Is Essential In Today’s Cyber Landscape
In today’s AI age, cybersecurity is constantly evolving. Companies are desperately trying to build an AI-ready security workforce, but few professionals have the skills necessary to expertly defend against AI threats and malicious use of generative AI. If you’re looking to expand your cybersecurity knowledge and prepare yourself for today’s AI age, the CompTIA SecAI+ is your next best step.
This is more than just AI security best practices. With this certification, you’ll earn specific, hands-on, AI-focused skills—exactly what companies and teams today are looking for.
That’s why the CompTIA SecAI+ Certification is your ticket to greater credibility, a higher salary, and maybe even new leadership positions in your organization.
Become An AI-Ready Cybersecurity Leader
The cybersecurity and IT knowledge you hold today is a result of not only study and preparation, but also in-the-trenches work and day-to-day problem solving. This new AI certification will help you build on that knowledge to become an AI-ready cybersecurity leader.
While other cybersecurity professionals struggle to keep up with the constantly changing AI landscape, you’ll be prepared to handle any AI threat. You’ll learn how to create and use AI agents to solve the problems your company is facing—in a way that’s safe, secure, and policy-compliant.
Now more than ever, knowing how to use the AI tools at our fingertips will make the difference between people who move up the ranks and those who stay stagnant—or worse, get replaced by someone who’s more prepared for the AI age.
How to Get Started: The Best Way to Prepare For The CompTIA SecAI+ Certification
