IronPort Certified Security Professional

Finished the Cisco IronPort Certified Security Professional ICSP-Email security. More information can be found at https://training.ironport.com/ICSP.html. Basically decided to earn the certification because my employer paid.

Preparation: I have about a year experience with multiple Ironport appliances within a financial enterprise. Took the Basic and Advanced Ironport 3 Day Course. About 2 weeks of additional studying.

Review: Need strong hands on experience with Cisco Ironport appliance. This is a cisco exam so dont be fooled, it is challenging! Need to take the course and have deployment experience to pass the exam. Ok back to CISSP...>

having looked at the site I can't see any info on the actual exam, so I cant imagine chiv will be able to answer these without breaking the NDA.

Sorry I don't wont to break any Cisco NDA. To be honest I cant even remember (I have taken alot of test since)!! I know that a combination of Email administration, Ironport Deployment, Management and Configuration experience helped greatly in passing the exam.

My recommendation would be to take the courses since they provide you with study guides.

I would say passing the exam was a benefit because many large corporations are utilizing Cisco Ironport. Seeing that I have worked with and deployed many spam appliances/hosted solutions (Postini, MessageLabs, MXLogic)...Ironport is the winner hands down!! I get ZERO spam on my messaging network!

Good Luck!!
