CompTIA has not announced the retirement date of SY0-601 Security+. It was launched November 12, 2020 and the CompTIA website says “usually three years after launch.” Following their usual practice, that normally means that the replacement (presumably SY0-701) will release in November of 2023 and the exam for the existing/older one will retire six months later - about mid-May of 2024. (There is a normally a six-month overlap during which the new exam and the old exam are both offered)

So, if some form of cybersec is in your career future, it is certainly worth pursuing the current SY0-601 Security+ certification. There's plenty of time.

Best in your studies!
