The CCSP is basically just a realignment of the current Cisco Security
Specialist 1 certification into the Cisco Professional track. It does
add one more exam to the requirements but other than that no real
change. Cisco has even 'generously' allowed current CSS1s to take the
remaining exam to get the cert. :-)
As for the new specialist level certs, they are just dumbed down
^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H more focussed variations of the CSS1.
I really dont think Cisco have thought this one through as anyone who
attains CCSP (with the current versions of the exams), will also
automatically get three specialist level certs. In my opinion this
totally devalues the specialist level certs. They should be something
that takes specific specialised skill and knowledge to attain, not
something you get for free as part of the process of attaining an
intermediate level professional qualification.
