BS.

Guys,
I don't know if this news is real or not. But, I do know that knowing
those
products is a good career move.
NAC and CS-MARS are very hot products and for those out there doing
consulting, having the skills to design and deploy these products will
place
you on a very small list.
Of course, each person's situation is somewhat unique and each will have
to
decide what effort to devote to staying current.
Just my 2 cents.
Tim

This is not real. It would be listed on this page:
http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/le3/ccie/announcements/index.html
Until it is there I don't believe it.

Sergej,
Actually, I'm not surprised. As you know, Cisco has been beefing up
it's
portfolio of security products for a while and considers Security and
VOIP
the new paths for future revenue and earnings growth. By adding these
new
technologies to the ccie requirements, Cisco is also greatly increasing
its
salesforce for these new products.
I wouldn't be surprised if, in a few months, Cisco makes another
announcement which adds NAC to the list of technologies Security CCIE's
have
to master.
Like all changes to the lab requirements, this is a double edge sword.
On
the one hand, your work load just went up. But, on the other hand, the
value
of your knowledge increased in lockstep with your new workload.
So, if you're real close to being sufficiently prepared for the lab,
then
just hunker down and take the lab before May 31st.
If you're not close enough to do that, start downloading the Config
Guide
for CS-Mars and the other new products and get to work. Or, check out
the
training that's available to get you up to speed faster.
