CCIE Security

CCIE certification in Security indicates expert-level knowledge of IP and IP routing as well as specific security protocols and components.

Recommended Training

Recommended courses include the curriculum for CCNA recommended training plus the curriculum for CCSP recommended training plus CCNP

CCIE: Security

The Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE™) certification for Security indicates expert level knowledge and skills in configuring and maintaining secure networks. CCIE Security certified individuals are experts in the fundamentals of IP and IP routing, as well as in the specific area of security protocols and applications. CCIE certifications are valid for two years and must be recertified.
Prerequisites: No formal prerequisites exist for CCIE certification, but candidates are strongly encouraged to have at least 3-5 years of hands-on job experience prior to attempting certification.
Required Exams: CCIE candidates must pass BOTH the written qualification exam (350-018) AND an eight-hour, hands-on lab exam available at authorized Cisco testing facilities.
Recertification Requirements: The recertification requirement ensures that the CCIE credential remains a meaningful measure of individual technical expertise for as long as a CCIE is active in the industry. CCIEs are required to pass one CCIE written exam of their choosing every two years. Ten different written exams, reflecting specialization in different areas of networking, are currently offered.
