CCIE Security Candidates,

I'm sitting in the CCIE Security Techtorial led by Yusuf Bhaiji, the
CCIE Security Program Manager. The verdict is in... changes are coming
for the CCIE Security Lab Exam! I will be making a more detailed post
later today about the changes on the Internetwork Expert Blog
(http://blog.internetworkexpert.com), but in a nutshell the following
changes are coming:

PIX Firewall - Removed
VPN 3000 Concentrator - Removed
New Routers - 3800s running 12.4T
New Switches - 3560s running 12.2(x)SE
New ASA Software - Version 8.x
IPS 4215 Replaced With IPS 4240
New IPS Software - Version 6.x

MARS and NAC Appliance are still possible but not official yet. Since
the announcement is not "official" yet the timeframe for the change is
still more than 6 months out.

Let the panic ensue ;)
