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