701 or 801? Decide in 45 minutes: a free live Security+ exam-version clinic

Location type: Virtual

10/21/2026 - 7:00 PM EDT (America/New York)
to 10/21/2026 - 8:00 PM EDT (America/New York)

Description

A free, 45-minute live online session for anyone planning to take CompTIA Security+ as a first cybersecurity certification. CompTIA expects to launch the new Security+ exam, SY0-801, on or around November 17, 2026, and the English SY0-701 exam retires June 11, 2027, so many learners are deciding which version to sit. We will compare the two using CompTIA's published exam objectives, work through three practice performance-based questions live, and finish with open Q&A. Hosted by Pawel Sloboda, founder of SecuSpark, an independent study platform not affiliated with CompTIA or NIST. Free to attend; registration is on the event page.
