Cisco Updates CCSP
It's official - the CCSP is updated. I'm really digging the "core exams + electives" option. Allows you to become a CCSP who specializes in some security technology (ASA, MARS, NAC) without requiring you to know everything to get a CCSP certification. Wish they'd do the same for the CCVP program...I'm sure they will...

The value of my Cisco cert is going down everyday and things like this doesn't help. Watch and see... I know this will not make since to many right now but just wait.

Personally, I don't care for this move at all. I am three deep into the CCSP (SND, SNPA, and IPS). I was starting to study for the SNRS (and was looking forward to it), but I guess now I'll move onto the elective. The Cisco Certification Tracking site doesn't help. (IMO) it is very badly designed and hard to navigate. BTW, a question for anybody who has finished the CCSP, which elective did you take? I was thinking the easy route (after four other tests I just wanted to finish the track and move on) but can't seem to find ANY study material for it. MARS seems cool, but we don't use it anywhere in our organization. The only thing remotely relevant to my current position is the CNAC (even though we are testing a NAC deployment using FreeNAC).
