Yes, there are changes coming.

The formal announcement has not been made with finalized items, however the
following items have been mentioned in prior threads:

IOS changing to 12.4T
ASA changing to 8.x
IPS changing to 6.1
Removal of VPNConc
Removal of PIX

The change won't take effect until 6 months after announcement, so probably
wouldn't change until Feb/March at the earliest.

Which version to study depends on how long you expect your study to take.

As far as vendors, I would guess most are waiting for the official change
announced before announcing any update timelines.

Subject: security lab changes pending

I was planning on starting my security lab preparations right about now.

If the security lab changes in the upcoming months, does this mean I have to

delay my pursuit of this specialty ?

How long do I need to delay ?

Are all vendors' security workbooks now out of date ?

Which vendor is going to have their workbook updated first ?

Mike
