Hi,
I can't agree more. I won't bother taking another cisco exam that doesn't
provide any clear value. CSS-1 has not been widely recognized, and yet it
is slated to be retired. I won't expect much coming from CCSP and the three
other security cert.
I am beginning to have a negative bias on Cisco exams that shortlived or
frequently changed as a mean to revenue-earning ......

If you take one of the 3 specialized courses plus MCNS
exam, you become a Specialist in that area eg
1. CSPFA+MCNS = Firewall Specialist
2. CSVPN+MCNS = VPN specialist
3. IDSPM+MCNS = IDS Specialsit
For a Limited time more:
CSPFA+CSVPN+IDSPM+MCNS = CSS1
Also
CSPFA+CSVPN+IDSPM+MCNS+SAFE= CCSP
>From now till 09/03
People like my humble self who already have the CSS1
designation would need take only the SAFE exam to
become CCSP.
I did not see any true meaning to all these. Cisco
should know better.
