CCNP Security - Cisco Certified Network Professional Security

Cisco recently completed a significant upgrade to their CCSP programme, including a new name: Cisco Certified Network Professional Security (CCNP Security). Key changes to the programme include:

• Focus on daily job tasks of experienced network security professionals and engineers
• More emphasis on defining service, service levels, and quality of service
• Streamlined process eliminates elective requirements

New to the CCNP Security Program?

Once you have earned the prerequisite CCNA Security certification, you'll need to pass all four exams: SECURE (642-637), IPSv7 (642-627), VPN (642-617), and FIREWALL (642-647) to achieve CCNP Security certification. The new courses that will help you prepare for the exams are:

• Securing Networks with Cisco Routers and Switches (SECURE)
• Implementing Cisco Intrusion Prevention System v7.0 (IPS)
• Deploying Cisco ASA VPN Solutions (VPN)
• Deploying Cisco ASA Firewall Solutions (FIREWALL)
