It hasn’t been long since Cisco revised written exam topics for all CCIE certification. Also not long ago they have revised CCNA from version 2.0 to CCNA v3.0. A lot of professionals appreciated the revised content as it now covers the majority of topics of professional and industrial level. Now, CCIE Security exam will be known as CCIE Security v5.0.
Who should take CCIE Security v5.0?
CCIE Security certification tests the expert level ability of a candidate to secure a large-scale network. This certification qualifies you to manage, lead and design the most complex network security solution.

Steps to take for CCIE Security v5.0
Step 1: Take CCIE v5.0 Written (Exam code: 400-251). According to Cisco,
“The Cisco CCIE Security Written Exam (400-251) version 5.0 is a two-hour test with 90–110 questions that validate professionals who have the expertise to describe, design, implement, operate, and troubleshoot complex security technologies and solutions. Candidates must understand the requirements of network security, how different components inter-operate, and translate it into the device configurations. The exam is closed book and no outside reference materials are allowed.”
Clearing the Certification isn’t considered to be that much easy, you have to go through rigorous training and lots of CCNP 300-720 SESA Dumps would be needed to go through unless you have some expertise training courses like such offered at the ITCertDumps.
Step 2: Take CCIE v5.0 Lab; this exam takes 8 hours to complete. There are still 3 modules in the lab exam.
Module 1: Troubleshooting module (two hours) Module 2: Diagnostic module (one hour) Module 3: Configuration module (five hours)
