I'll be starting the CCNA:Security right after Christmas, followed by the NP:Security track into 2015. For those of you who've been through it all, is expecting to be done with it all by the end of 2015 a realistic expectation? I don't have as much time as you single guys and gals, since I'm married with three small children, but I want to do my best. That would give me three months per test, excluding the NA:Security.
With the hack of Sony, I would think that companies will be looking for security people now more than ever, right?

I was able to complete CCNA/P Security within a year. I have a wife and two small children so I did the bulk of my studying at work since I had a DR ASA/IPS to practice on there. I studied at night after the kids were in bed.
I used the CBT Nuggets and Cisco's official cert guide. The daily hands on is what made everything stick.Alphabet soup from (ISC)2, ISACA, GIAC, EC-Council, Microsoft, ITIL, Cisco, Scrum, CompTIA, AWS -

You had quite the advantage with the equipment at work. I have none of that. I'd either have to buy it or figure it out on GNS3. -

I'd be interested in seeing how far that year would get stretched out by working on the current exams who's cert guides keep getting pushed further and further into the future.
