Cisco CCNP Security Certification
This new CCNP Security certification proves your skills with security solutions. To earn the CCNP Security certification, you will need to pass two exams: a core exam and a security concentration of your choosing, allowing you to focus your training on a technology that is most relevant to you.
- The core exam focuses on your knowledge of security infrastructure.
- Concentration exams focus on emerging and industry-specific topics such as including identity and access management, web and email security, Next Generation Firewalls, Next Generation IPS, VPN solutions and security automation.
Please note: None of the below exams will be available until 24th of February 2020
If you have already started on the old CCNP Security track, then the message is to complete before the cut-over.
If you do not think you will be able to complete, then please check our migration pages or talk to a Global Knowledge Training Executive to ensure you maximise the learning you have completed to date.
