All, sorry if this is a re-post. I didn't see it show up after I sent it a
couple days ago.
I'm thinking about going for the Security CCIE. But looking at the
blueprint, the things I've never touched are:
Security Protocols:
Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS)
Terminal Access Controller Access Control System Plus (TACACS+)
Kerberos
Certificate Enrollment Protocol (CEP)
Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)
Operating Systems:
UNIX (Well, I know a little UNIX, but just enough to be dangerous :)
Application Protocols:
Secure Shell (SSH)
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
Active Directory
General Networking:
none!
Security Technologies:
Active Audit
Content Filters
Authentication Technologies
Cisco Security Applications:
Cisco Secure UNIX
Cisco Secure NT
Cisco Secure Policy Manager (formerly Cisco Security Manager)
Cisco Secure Intrusion Detection System (formerly NetRanger)
Cisco Secure Scanner (formerly NetSonar)
Security General:
Intrusion Detection
If I didn't list it, it's because I'm pretty familiar with that
topic. I have no problem learning the missing parts, my issue is trying to
learn the applications (Policy Manager, IDS, Scanner, Radius, TACACS+,
Kerberos, etc) without hands-on exposure to them. I'd be funding everything
myself, and don't plan on buying any of these expensive packages. I guess
my question is can you successfully prepare using only books, such as:
http://www.ccbootcamp.com/secexamwkbk.asp
or is this as insane as trying to pass the R&S exam without hands on?
Thanks,
Chuck Church
