+1 for the CBT Nuggets. Jeremy does a great job with those videos. The best
though is reading and working the questions in the Cisco Press books I found.
Also, make sure you check the tracks and understand exactly which tests are
needed for the certification you want to pursue. CCSP is now retired and
replaced with CCNP security, and as a result many of the elective exams have
been changed/versions modified.

Yes you do. You'll also need the CCNA Security if you end up going for the
CCNP Security cert. I've found the combination of Cisco Press books, CBT
Nuggets, and labbing things up works well.

Russell,
Thank you for replying. Do I need CCNA as a prerequisite to get my CCNA
Security certification? What books would you recommend to prepare for
this certification?
Thank you once again.
