I passed my SecAI exam, and immediately afterward I fell sick. My physiotherapist said it was due to heavy lifting. I was like, "How? I didn't lift anything!"

This is based on a true story, but I'm recovering well, guys.
Thank you so much, Stephane, for the voucher, and thank you to our instructor for the course and all the support.

Congratulations!

OWASP Top 10 for Large Language Model Applications | OWASP Foundation

Aims to educate developers, designers, architects, managers, and organizations about the potential security risks when deploying and managing Large Language Models (LLMs)

owasp.org

Key Takeaways from OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications

Input manipulation: Attackers can trick LLMs with crafted prompts, leading to unauthorized access or bad decisions.
Unvalidated outputs: If you trust LLM responses blindly, they can introduce vulnerabilities (e.g., unsafe code execution).
Training data tampering: Poisoned datasets can corrupt models, affecting accuracy and ethics.
Resource overload: Heavy queries can disrupt services or drive up costs.
Sensitive data leaks: LLMs may accidentally reveal confidential information.
Plugin risks: Poorly controlled plugins can open doors to exploits like remote code execution.
Unchecked autonomy: Giving LLMs too much freedom can cause unintended, harmful actions.

Congrats on passing SecAI+, that’s a great achievement!

Interesting to hear OWASP showed up more prominently; that’s a good reminder for anyone prepping to brush up on those frameworks.
Thanks for clarifying the PBQ flow. Being able to flag and revisit them definitely helps with pacing.
The one‑hour limit is tight, so your note about not finishing one PBQ is valuable context for others planning their timing strategy.

Appreciate you sharing these insights, they’ll be really useful for members preparing for the exam.

Gregory Childers · 2026-06-24T10:05:53-0500

Generally speaking, on all CompTIA exams that have PBQs, save them until the end. Do all the multiple-choice questions first.

The only exception is the SecurityX exam, which has a single question in a virtual machine environment. You can't skip it. If you do, you can not return to it later.

The forum you want to look at is https://cin.comptia.org/forums/comptia-webinars.32/ but note that no cost vouchers are only provided for a short time window after the Train-the-Trainer ends. So You can register for the CySA+ TTT which had it's first session today and watch it on demand and if you attend all sessions, you will get a complimentary voucher for that certification. You could not, for example, watch the Network+ TTT's at this point to get a voucher.

Hello, Joined the CySA + TTT class and i have been following thro, My challenge is that am still not able to access the on-demand lesson Two for the Class.. Kindly assist to get the recording for the second lesson.. [email protected]

Hi Everyone!

I'm preparing myself on taking SecAI+. I just finished the on-demand TTT series released early this year and I also adquired a training in Udemy related to this cert. I've been certified in CySA+ and Pentest+ since 2021 but for SecAI+ given that this is an "expansion series" which foundations are Security+ I would like to hear your advice, recommendation, study guide, experiences during the exam, etc that could provide more insights on this exam.

Appreciate your comments and guidance

Best regards

I passed SecAI+ earlier today. Here are my thoughts:

1. OWASP was more prominent than expected.
2. The test started with 3 PBQs. You’re able to flag them for review and then come back to them. Remaining questions were multiple choice and easily digestible.
3. The one hour limit for 54 questions was almost enough time. Did not get to one of the PBQs.

Be strong and prevail.

Mark Anthony Germanos · 2026-06-23T14:40:35-0500

Happy to hear of this opportunity. Will respond before the day is done.

Registered. I wonder if this is the same Jill West from Course Technology (now Cengage?)

ign.yoe · 2026-06-23T11:57:59-0500

I am also in the same boat ; haven't get the CertMaster access since CySA+v4 first session. how to get the access code?
need your help Sir, @Stephen Schneiter

shiftry · 2026-06-23T11:20:50-0500

I would like to join the boat... I have not received the certmaster access yet

Paul Hannaford · 2026-06-23T10:25:53-0500

Looking forward to this been learning DevOps for delivery but anything that can help me out in an area I've not really covered before will be great.

Larry Moseley · 2026-06-23T09:38:09-0500

Good morning Stephen,

I am also in the same boat it appears, not receiving the certmaster codes, though I do receive the "Latest updates from CIN".

I finally buckled down and took the Linux+ and passed it today. It took some extra study but after I let the 005 get away from me I swore to myself I wouldn't let it happen again. HUGE thanks to @Stephen Schneiter, Jason Eckert's great TTT and the amazing CIN network for the voucher. Watching the expiration timer tick down on it gave me the kick in the pants I needed to finish!

Congratulations.

Stephen Schneiter · 2026-06-23T07:05:27-0500

Thanks @Shea Bennett, for sharing. CompTIA does take exam security very seriously. If you have an URL or company name that is being advertised and can share it with me, I will send to Legal and the Exam Dev team and they will investigate.

Stephen Schneiter · 2026-06-23T07:01:21-0500

Hello @janchester27, for access to the CertMaster Perform content, an email with access code and instructions were sent out once someone finished the first session, either live or on-demand. I can go back and forward the email to you. You should see it in your inbox later today.

As for the SecAI+, I will go back to the distribution list and see what I can find. If you are not receiving the emails from CIN, you may not have received the exam voucher email. I will reach out to you directly about the voucher.

Stephen Schneiter · 2026-06-23T06:56:32-0500

@JamesMBurke, thanks for sharing the information! I am sure this will help others in similar situations.

Hi everyone!

I was not able to receive the CertMaster voucher/access codes for both SecAI+ and CySA+.

For SecAI+, I attended the training through the on-demand sessions, and I saw that @Stephen Schneiter mentioned that learners should receive the access code after completing the first session, even for on-demand learners. I already completed the sessions, but I have not received the email yet.

For CySA+, I attended the first day live session, but I also have not received the CertMaster voucher/access code.

May I kindly ask if the voucher/access codes are sent automatically after attendance is recorded, or if they can be resent directly?

I would appreciate your help on this. Thank you!

I received mine. As long as you check all the boxes above highlighted by Ali. You should be good to go.

I dunno - if it were me getting them, I'd probably take a screen capture of the solicitation and post it on LinkedIn for all to see. Maybe hash it #WallofShame or something. But then, I don't really do much on LinkedIn (nor have any inclination to use the platform, really - kinda hating it these days), so I'm not really getting those requests.

But yeah, nothing like some proper shaming of scammers on a public platform - with evidence, of course.

What's crazy is I do a wall of shame with the name and everything and nothing happens...smh

JamesMBurke · 2026-06-23T03:05:34-0500

I found them thanks to some instructions I found on Dion Training (Jason Dion);
"To access your CompTIA A+ score report, log into your CompTIA Login dashboard. On the right-hand menu, select Schedule and Manage Exams, and proceed to your Pearson VUE portal. Under the My Account section, click View Score Reports to download your PDF"

Hi Ali,

Thank you for sharing this.

For SecAI+, I understand the exam voucher qualifications, and I believe I met the requirements since I participated in the on-demand sessions during the live series date range and I already received the SecAI+ exam voucher.

My concern is specifically about the CertMaster access code, because I have not received that email yet.

Thank you again for the clarification. I’ll wait for Stephen’s confirmation as well.
