Certification Overview
Cyberthreats are ever-evolving, which means our response must evolve too. When you earn your CCNP Security certification, you prove that you can step into the cybersecurity environment and protect the networks and data that clients rely on.
Showcase your knowledge of enterprise infrastructure, virtualization, assurance, security, and automation on the SCOR exam and then demonstrate your specialist skills in a concentration exam of your choice. Pass both exams to earn your certification.
Exam Details
Each CCNP certification requires only two exams: one core exam and one concentration exam of your choice, so you can focus on your interests and needs. Each core exam covers the foundational and common concepts that are required for a candidate to be proficient in a technology architecture.
Prerequisites
No formal prerequisites for CCNP security. Candidates often also have three to five years of experience implementing security solutions.
