Overview
This certification is aimed at network engineers and system engineers. CCNP Security certification is obtained by successfully passing the CORE exam (preparatory course: SCOR) and one of the CONCENTRATION exams (preparatory courses: SNCF, SISE3X, SESA, SWSA, SVPN or SAUTO). The order is irrelevant: you can first take a CORE and then a CONCENTRATION exam or vice versa. However, a CORE exam requires more and deeper preparation, since a CORE course covers the essentials of the respective technology. In the CONCENTRATION area of each technology, more in-depth knowledge of a specialization is required.
