I am also planning to start Cisco Security certification and would
appreciate if some one can recommend good practice tests.
Thank you

|Hi Steven
|
|To do the full Cisco Security thing you must take 5 exams as
|follows and
|preferably in this order
|MCNS
|Pix Firewall Fundamentals
|Pix Firewall Advanced
|Cisco Secure VPN
|Cisco Intrusion Detection
|
|The reason for this approach as I always tell my staff &
|students is that
|the MCNS is comprehensive and gives you a great deal of material in the
|other exams, especially the area of IKE, IPsec, ISAKMP etc.
|
|Books Cisco Press
|Managing Cisco Network Security
|Designing Network Security
|Cisco IOS 12.0 Network Security
|Cisco Secure Internet Security Solutions
|
|There is also the McGraw Hill Implementing Cisco Secure VPN's
|but that is so
|full of holes and errors I would not bother. There is a book from cisco
|Press on VPN's due late 2001 written by Andrew Mason & Terri
|Smith and if it
|is half as good as Terri is as a VPN course instructor then it
|will be well
|worth the money.
|
|The odd one out is CSIDS which requires a deal of Unix
|knowledge especially
|Solaris, plus some Openview stuff.
|
|The key to all the exams is understand fully IKE, ISAkmp and
|the security
|process of why & how.
|
|If you have not done CCNP or the BCRAN part of CCNPO then i
|wopuld recommend
|you take a look at it as background to the IOS side of security.
|
|Good luck and if you need any further specific info email me direct.
