CCIE Certification - Security Track

Expert Level Knowledge and Experience

Cisco CCIE Security certifies expertise with specific security protocols and components, as well as IP and IP routing.

Requirements for Certification

There are no formal prerequisites for CCIE certification. Other professional certifications or training courses are not required. Instead, candidates must first pass a written qualification exam and then the corresponding hands-on lab exam. You are expected to have an in-depth understanding of the topics in the exam blueprints and strongly encouraged to have three to five years of job experience before attempting certification. You can review the exam preparation materials included on this page for more information.

Step One: CCIE Security Written Exam
You must pass the two-hour, written qualification exam covering networking concepts and some equipment commands before you are eligible to schedule the lab exam.

Step Two: CCIE Security Lab Exam
The eight-hour lab exam tests your ability to get a secure network running in a timed test situation. You must pass the lab within three years of passing the written to achieve certification. Your first lab attempt must be made within 18 months.

Effective April 20, 2009, important content changes have been implemented in the CCIE Security Lab exams. Candidates for lab exams scheduled April 20, 2009 or later should prepare using the v3.0 Lab Equipment and Software Versions. After April 20, 2009, students should no longer use the v2.0 Lab Equipment and Software Versions and v 2.0 blueprint as they have formally reached end of life. They should no longer be used when preparing for this exam.
