in CCNA & CCENT
So I never knocked out any Cisco certs...but I've worked a lot with Cisco technologies. I'd like to hit CCNA and CCNA-Sec. For someone who has worked with Cisco for years, what is a good fast-track study guide to kill this exam?

Hit up the Wendel Odom books. If you don't have a physical lab setup, use either packet tracer or GNS3 with Dynamips. Since you already have years of experience, you should be able to knock this out relatively quickly.* Currently pursuing: PhD: Information Security and Information Assurance
* Certifications: CISSP, CEH, CHFI, CCNA:Sec, CCNA:R&S, CWNA, ITILv3, VCA-DCV, LPIC-1, A+, Network+, Security+, Linux+, Project+, and many more...
* Degrees: MSc: Cybersecurity and Information Assurance; BSc: Information Technology - Security; AAS: IT Network Systems Administration -

There is no "fast-track"..you either have the knowledge or you don't. You said you have experience with Cisco so I would suggest looking at the composite exam, I think it is still 642-802
From there you can hop over to CCNA SecurityModularity and Design Simplicity:
Think of the 2:00 a.m. test—if you were awakened in the
middle of the night because of a network problem and had to figure out the
traffic flows in your network while you were half asleep, could you do it? -

Well, you could have some of the knowledge, therefore the fast track would be considered grabbing the book filling in the gaps and passing test. How fast that track is depends on how much in between not knowing and knowing he is. -

Ok, then I concede.."fast track" being someone who has practical knowledge, needs to brush up on some theoretical and fill in some gaps, sit the composite and call it a day.Modularity and Design Simplicity:

Odom has the books laid out well with a pre-chapter test to judge how well you know the topics. That way if you score high on the pre-chapter test you could just breeze through.
