Actually, Cisco has quite the reprotoire in security products, although (I
guess fortunately for those going for the exam today) most are not covered
on the lab! Either way, an expert-level hands-on certification surrounding
common networking issues dealing with security is never a bad thing to have.
I know plenty of people who can subnet just fine but don't know jack about
IPSec. :) (or can't write a good access list to save their lives) So
having one does not dilute the need for the other.
Besides, if you look at the total size of the market for routers/switches
compared to security products, you'll find a relatively consistent balance
between that and Cisco's marketshare. Times are a' changin'. ;) But that
thought and a CISSP may get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. But they're
not cheap. :)

Subject: why CCIE Security?
I am curious about the primary motive people have for pursuing the Security
CCIE?
The reason I question it is because when it comes to routing and switching
products its a no-brainer Cisco is the leader by a long shot, but there is
a major difference in Ciscos market-share when it comes to security related
products.
I suspect the reason is because folks want to show expert competency in
security and know that employers already have a developed respect for the
CCIE title in general.
Just curious
