domains and added the latest technologies to keep
up with the ever-evolving cyber landscape. The
following are the significant changes in the exam
domains.Broadened the Threats, attacks and

the Threats, attacks, and vulnerability domain
has 8 exam objectives. The domain extensively
covers the latest social engineering techniques,
different types of attacks (including the
adversarial artificial intelligence attacks,
physical attacks). It explains different types of
threat actors, vectors, and intelligence sources
that are not introduced in the SY0-501. It also

the updated version has increased to 24.

10The disintegration of the Technology and tools
domain
- The Technology and tools domain is broken apart
and added in the domains where it is applied. For
example, the SIEM tool is introduced in the
Operations and incidence response domain. - Merging the Cryptography PKI and Identity
Access management domains - 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.
