The title of the test is "Intrusion Detection System with Policy Manager" so
I would assume: CSPM(i) and/or UNIX Director managing IDS Sensors (plus the
new Catalyst 6000 IDS blade). Basically, the IDS line.
Having taken it today, I can say those were in fact the topics. Very, very
hard test. I feel I know the CSPM(f & i) and IDS Sensor portion fairly well
(having spent the last two weeks labbing it at home, and Thursday and Friday
on an actual customer install), and scored only marginally on those sections
due to the detail in some areas (usually I could narrow it to 2 answers). A
lot of it I could do better on if I had more items memorized (directory path
info, etc.).
Having never touched, nor seen documentation on the UNIX Director, I could
only guess on those questions. HP OpenView is used by this product as well.
(I'll be researching both topics so I can pass the CSIDS v1 test for my
company' Advanced Security Specialization Certification, which only requires
me to pass this test to go from our current Security Specialization
Certification). If I didn't know better, I'd say the UNIX Director line was
getting phased out just looking on Cisco's IDS section (it's not linked nor
mentioned, but you can find it with a "UNIX Director" search).
I have documentation/hands-on lab material for the Catalyst 6000 "minime"
blade, but never read through it. Can you believe it runs on NT4? That's
about the only detail I recall (you never touch the GUI interface, all CLI).
I used this test as a minor prep for the CSIDS v1 test and had no time to
prepare for it (I was 20 minutes late to the test as is). My guess is that
this test will replace the CSIDS v1 test (which as been around for some
time, but previously wasn't a requirement for the Security Specialist Cert).
184 questions, 3.5 hours. I was done in 1.5 hours and I went slow and
steady and made comments on the items I knew and had info to add/disagree
on. 12 weeks from the test close date (June 15th) to find out if I passed
(I doubt it).
