Cybersecurity is a rapidly changing field. New threats are emerging every day. And while cybersecurity experts are developing countermeasures to these new risks, we are still behind the curve. Three years ago SY0-401 was released, on May 1, 2014, and since 2014, advances have grown significantly in the cybersecurity field. There is a severe need to develop, innovate, and evolve to enhanced technique and solutions for newly emerging cyber-security threats and vulnerabilities. Therefore, version SY0-501 has been designed and updated, to ensure the new risks and technique-methods are in consideration. Consequently, the replacement of SY0-401 is a necessity. Candidates who are preparing for the SY0-401 exam should not be discouraged because it is an active credential. However, if this is your vocation, it would behoove you to learn any new and improved changes that will enhance or influence your career.
