Getting Started with Cisco CCNP - Security

are you excited to get your ccnp security from cisco systems well you should be we'll tell you all about it in this episode of getting started with ccnp security well my name is anthony secure with it pro tv and i taught two and right now that's all that's in the library as i record this but you never know i taught two of the courses that are required to take and then pass exams on when it comes to the ccnp security and i have in the studio here with me for those of you familiar with it pro tv you won't be surprised my dear friend and the host of both the courses that we built here at itpro tv for the ccnp security and ronnie as you remember it was all about score in fact uh don pizzette one of the founders of it pro tv ronnie and i came in one day and he had a score candy bar on each of our desks and i pointed out because i'm a stickler for spelling that it's misspelled uh but ronnie and i did eat the candy bars promptly they were really good they were delicious yes so let's do this ronnie let's walk our the students through first of all what are those requirements what classes are we talking about when you go to the exams page on the latest greatest you see something that they really did a good job of thinking through there is one required core exam you don't have to take it first but you must take it at some point in order to achieve this certification and it's 350-701 score and score of course stands for implementing and operating cisco security core technologies and thanks to don pizzat here at itpro tv i'll always think of a candy bar and get hungry when i mention that title but score is your required core exam it is your ccie written qualification exam for the lab if you were interested in the ccie security lab exam so it's a two-for-one here and then you choose from a growing list of what i call electives and i just can't get it through my head to call them anything else but they're officially called concentration exams so you're gonna pick one of those now ronnie you and i looked at the list and we were looking over the list and we said well clearly the most popular concentration exam is going to be sncf that's securing networks with cisco firepower right and we just knew that fire power would be the most in demand and that's the concentration exam that we are of course that we put together to allow students to get through that exam ronnie the exams are very similar to each other uh the s the score concentration exam had a 102 questions on it and firepower didn't but it was like i think 64 questions and they were in similar style similar level of difficulty just very similar the two exams for right now we have to remember that exam formats can always change and that's why i would definitely recommend you subscribe to the youtube channel and even turn on the notifications feature because the second they manipulate the score or sncf exam an easy way for ronnie or i or both of us to educate you about that change is to create one of our critical update youtube episodes so it's a really valuable reason to subscribe i would encourage you to do that so what we have here though is really two exams even though it lists three different courses the recommended training we actually broke it down into two courses on the it pro tv courses instead thank you for pointing that out that was another huge decision that ronnie and i made here we were looking at the s s n g f w s s f i p s courses that cisco put together and we were looking at that and we were like oh my gosh they broke out the fire power into firewalling versus intrusion prevention and then there's a tremendous amount of redundancy in those two courses as you can only imagine so we decided oh gosh yeah we're going to put together one many videos we probably did about 50 or 60 videos right because we taught both the intrusion prevention capabilities as well as the firewall capabilities in that one course so that was a great way to do it all right let's talk about the getting ready for the exam as well we had to go into pearson view essentially register there and you have to make sure you have the exam number itself because it's not going to tell you what the name of the exam is going to be but you want to take one exam at a time and of course right now if you do so you'll probably take it underneath the uh at home at some point so you'll have to follow those guidance and actually be able to take an exam from home and i believe anthony actually has another youtube video that actually talks about what we can do to make sure that we're all prepared in our environment for taking the exam from home yeah i've finally gotten over ronnie you'll be happy to know because ronnie's like my uh he's my therapist i i mean oh my gosh did i not like that at first testing at home like it it's just super stressful you know i'm always stressed that i'm going to do something wrong and they're going to kick me out of the test right and it did happen to me my my united states driver's license had expired and so i'm sitting there all ready to get my butt kicked by the data center core exam from cisco systems and they're like sorry no test for you soup nazi reference from the hit show seinfeld uh so yeah no test for you so that was not a fun night but notice that would have happened to me at the testing center but you know what i've been freaked out about it testing at home is no matter how many times i've told my 18 year old daughter don't enter this room she's gonna forget and walk into the room behind me the minute they see someone on camera behind you they fail you now i'm getting off into a tangent of how to test at home but i won't do that just know that once you get the hang of it now i'm hooked on it and i'm testing at home like it seems like every week and loving it so all right ronnie so excellent they're gonna head up here to pearson view you can see i've gone to the pearson view site they just go four test takers schedule an exam they'll type in cisco right here to be brought to the cisco systems home page if you will of this website they'll sign in over here with their cisco credentials and they're off and running ah they're not cisco credentials they're they're not your cisco.com credentials they're the pearson of youtube they're the pearson view system yeah so uh these exams are tough they are definitely not as i'm working with the data center track right now at it pro tv and that is by far the data center core the toughest of all these new exams i've encountered yet but these aren't too too bad but what do you think ronnie and i do for you in our score and sncf classes here at itprotv we give you the tools that you need to be successful and we talk about the level of knowledge you need topic by topic as we are going through now why might you want the ccnp security well the ccnp security is hyper focused for the most part on cisco solutions for securing your enterprise network and they're one of the biggest players in that space so it's an excellent certification when you know that you're going to be working with things like adaptive security appliances fire power devices stealth watch devices umbrella software uh amp the advanced malware protection cisco is building a massive portfolio of security products and if you feel you're going to be working with those this is a very valuable certification for you if you're going to be going to work at an exclusively juniper shop well it's just not a value to you really right like if there is no cisco gear in your enterprise i don't necessarily recommend these classes but i will say though ronnie right in fairness the score exam it really it did have just a ton of general security cyber security content so there is that aspect to it well we sure are thrilled that you joined us for this how to get started with the ccnp security and if you have questions for ronnie or i about this you have the comments area below this video so by all means let us know if we can answer any questions for you on this lofty pursuit of the ccnp security and ronnie i suppose it's more important than ever because there's no more ccna security that's right so that's interesting this is really your first concentrated discipline work when it comes to cisco systems and the subject matter of security thanks so much for joining us in this video we hope to see you soon here on youtube
