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. These
individuals typically are
responsible for designing and
implementing Cisco secure
networks. Either the CCNA (Cisco
Certified Network Associate) or

prerequisite for the CCSP.
The CCSP was established in
2002 and has been most recently

CCSP designation. The CCSP is

recertify, take and pass the
current version of appropriate
security exams.
Job roles of those pursuing
this certification include:
