Passed CCNA Cyber Ops - SECFND - 210-255

Rufio

Just wanted to make a couple comments on this exam. I didn't have a lot of time to study for the exam but since I had the scholarship I thought I'd use my first voucher.

As many have stated, the exam is pretty straight forward. Nothing too crazy.

If you're preparing for the exam, get ahold of the "understanding cisco cybersecurity fundamentals (210-250)" outline document. I believe it's public. It has a breakdown of all the sections (6: Network Concepts (12%), Security Concepts (17%), Cryptography (12%), Host-based Analysis (19%), Security Monitoring (19%), Attack Methods (21%)).

This outline provides a high-level breakdown of what you need to pass. Make sure at a minimum you know everything on this document. However, the benefit of this course is really found in the hands-on material.

I've been doing security for 6 years and just wanted to get a better understanding of the SOC best practices. I feel like this would have been a solid place to start with security.
