Cisco Updates the CCSP Certification

Business and industry needs are driving the evolution and development of the security solutions deployed in today’s networks. This in turn, is driving the demand for highly trained and skilled security professional s.
According to industry analysts, security spending remains a top priority in many organizations. IDC currently forecasts this market to reach $67 billion in 2010, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16 percent from 2005 to 2010. A recent Forrester Research survey also found, nearly one-third of IT leaders plan to hire security staff in 2007.
To ensure Cisco certification holders are current on the latest technology trends, Cisco has updated the CCSP certification and also introduced two new specialist certifications.
Changes to the security CCSP professional certification include updates to two of the five recommended training courses as well as, introducing two new exams and courses added as curriculum electives that can be used to satisfy the exam requirements for CCSP. These new elective exams and courses will cover Implementing Cisco NAC Appliances and Implementing Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis and Response Systems.
The Cisco Network Admission Control Specialist and the Cisco IOS Security Specialist certifications are the newest of the security specialist certifications now available. These certifications are designed for the security technologist and will validate their skills in implementing and supporting these technologies.!
In addition, Cisco is updating the security specialization requirements for channel partners. Specifically the Field Engineer requirements are changing. Exam 642-567 ASFE will be retired, as well as the Cisco Advanced Security Field Specialization. Partner engineers pursuing CCSP, which is a requirement for the Field Engineer role, must now take two additional CCSP elective exams in place of 642-567 ASFE. For those currently studying, the last day to test 642-567 ASFE will be July 30, 2007. The channel requirements for Account Manager and System Engineer remain unchanged.
