I noticed that getting the first certificate (Proof of Participation) of the TTT for SecurityX is states that my participation is good for 2 CEU credit per hour toward the renewal of your "Cloud+. Does this mean siting the SecurityX exam will renew Cloud+? On the website Renew existing certifications its not listed but I wondered if addition to the name change if that has change.
Does siting the SecurityX exam recertifies Cloud+?

It does not. You have to either recertify Cloud+ by taking an upgraded exam, or through the CEU process. I did that this year when I took courses for MSFT Azure. Taking both MS900 and SC900 gave me more than enough CEU credit to update my Cloud+. /r
Passing SecurityX grants you 25 CEUs for Cloud+
Renew with Additional Certifications | CompTIA IT Certifications
When you earn a new qualifying CompTIA certification, you receive CEUs toward the renewal of your existing CompTIA certification.

Totally misread the question - yes, there's that too. I was thinking about the renew-chain for the core certs.Passing SecurityX grants you 25 CEUs for Cloud+

Okay, let's see if I can clear this up...
1) Sitting the SecurityX exam does not automatically renew the Cloud+ credential. The only exam that you can take that will automatically renew the Cloud+ is the Cloud+.
2) Sitting the SecurityX exam will provide 25 CEUs towards renewal of Cloud+ if you are using the CE route to renew.
3) Sitting other Cloud+ content-related exams, such as the Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services series of exams will also provide CEUs towards renewing the Cloud+.
4) Attending the TTT for SecurityX will award 2 CEUs credit towards the renewal of Cloud+.

Maybe, we shall have more the policy with CloudNetX for Cloud+. How do you think?
I like this site the best. Kind of wish CompTIA would make these easier to find.

When you click on SEC+ you can easily see what that renews - in addition to SEC+
CompTIA Certmast CE (will this get a new name as well?) is only available for A+, NET+, and SEC+. Have any discussions taken place to broaden the CE program to include additional certifications?
I haven't heard of anything like that - personally, I'd rather go that route - that way, I can go through the refresher training for changes and have the cert at the end. I suspect it's mostly predicated on the Security+ and how the US DoD leans on it very heavily for security certification (DoD 8570/8140).
CompTIA needs to update the CEU information. The Data pathway doesn't allow one cert to renew another, although DataSys+ is good for 13 hours towards A+ CEUs. Cloud+ renews Net+, which renews A+, but CloudNetX doesn't renew anything or give partial credit.
The three Xpert level certs should renew everything in their pathway. SecurityX does, but DataX and CloudNetX don't.

Hello @Everyone and Stephen
Please, could you help me understand a little the renewal cycle,
Let’s say I currently hold the CASP+ certification, which is set to expire in January 2027.
If I renew it tomorrow (May 4 2025), would the new expiration date be extended to January 2030, or would it be May 2028?
Thank you in advance for your help!

It would add three years to the expiration date, so it would be extended to January 2030.
Thank you, @Gregory Childers , for your kind reply.
I’m a bit confused because the official CompTIA information seems to suggest otherwise. Specifically, there's a line that states: “(three years from the date you earn the higher-level certification).”
I currently hold the CASP 004 certification, which expires in January 2027. Since I’m near the exam center these days, I was considering taking the CASP 005 exam to renew my certifications. However, if I will only receive an additional three years from tomorrow, I will essentially gain just one additional year.
You see what I mean? It feels like I would be shooting myself in the foot by doing this.

There is no CompTIA higher-level exam than CASP+/SecurityX because it is considered an expert level exam. That is what they are referring to.
I passed the CISM after passing CASP+ and they added three years to the expiration date. I also passed the CISSP, which I could use to renew my CISM and CASP+. I have some CompTIA certs that don't expire until 2030.

A nice thing to do is to take the certification that matters to you and always renew the SecurityX - I think that makes sense
Thanks for the insight.
I will do same
