CCSP

Cisco’s CCSP (Cisco Certified Security Professional) is an advanced-level certification for IT professionals who “are actively involved in developing business solutions and designing and delivering multiple levels of security departments.â€‌ These individuals typically are responsible for “designing and implementing Cisco secure networks.â€‌ Either the CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) or CCIP (Cisco Certified Internetwork Specialist) is a prerequisite for the CCSP.

The CCSP was established in 2002 and has been most recently changed in the spring of 2003 when its underlying required exams were updated. A candidate must pass five exams in order to achieve the CCSP designation. The CCSP is valid for three years. “To recertify, take and pass the current version of appropriate security exams.â€‌
