Passed Cisco IPS Today

I really enjoyed studying for this exam, because I had zero practical knowledge of an IDS/IPS before. The great way I found to prepare for it was with things I do have experience with that it is similar to, being packet analysis and firewalls, which is essentially what an IPS is... performs packet analysis and has ACLs (signatures and anomaly detection mechanisms) that match patterns to take an action (drop, reset, log, alert, etc).
Anyhow, I am pausing on the Cisco certs for a little while now that I have completed the CCSP. PMP is next, which is a pressing one for me right now. Then, VCP just because the opportunity is present and I have experience.
After this Summer, I am going to study Cisco security again and likely do the new CCNP Security exams, and perhaps the CCNP exams, all in preparation for my endeavor for next year: CCIE Security.
