IT Certification FAQ

9E0-131 Cisco SAFE Implementation - As long as you read the SAFE whitepaperand have some practical security design experience this is an easy exam.
Difficulty Rating on a scale of 1 to 10 is a 6

640-100 Managing Cisco Network Security - This exam is much more focused onRouter implementations. Topics include CBAC, ISAKMP, CSACS, and IDS features. Difficulty rating of 7.

9E0-111 PIX Advanced Firewalls - Fairly indepth test on Cisco PIX firewalls. Difficulty rating of 8.

9E0-121 Cisco Secure VPN - This is a very difficult as it covers 3 fairly
distinct products and how they integrate with one another. Focus your
studies on 3002 Hardware Client, 3000 Series Concentrators, and Cisco Secure VPN Client. It should also be stated that the Q&A performed by Cisco on this exam is very poor. The test engine is buggy in certain areas that literally leave you guessing at the answers.
Difficulty rating of 9.

9E0-100 Cisco Secure IDS - Very easy test that know longer focuses on Policy Manager, but cover the IDS and IEV GUI's in greater detail. Difficulty rating of 5.

Good luck to everyone!
