New exam: CCNA Security 210-260

Thanks for the heads up.

CCNA Security 210-260 Official Cert Guide (to be published in mid CY 2015) ISBN: 9781587205668 (mid 2015)
I can not find any other info on it

Hmm interesting, isn't it already mid 2015 though? Wonder what's taking so long

maybe they will take CCP and other GUIs that aren't used in real life off of the exam.. concentrate on the CLI.

That has me pondering as to whether I should push to take the exam now, or wait and see what's on the new curriculum. I'm just about at that point where I will be ready to sit for the exam in a few weeks.

Hmmmm...

I would be surprised if the test comes in the next few weeks and also you would have to worry about finding training material for the test even when it does. I would just continue on your path and take the current one soon.

I will be at the Boson CCNA Security boot camp in October and very curious about this now. As soon as I can get my hands on the new book I will but I searched online and no one has it yet.

About time I'd say

Sure enough, just picked up this from my local Barnes & Noble. And guess what, there's like 1/10th of the amount of CCP in here compared to the 640-554 book.

What was the price on it?

Hondabuff, it was $49.99 retail, and I used my B&N membership to get a discount on it.

lol nice find! How often does a book for an exam come out before the actual exam is even announced?

With Cisco? Probably a better chance of hell freezing over. I think the first CCNP:S book just came out and the CCNP:S was refreshed last year I believe.

Yes I'm happy for all those not having to endure it. No one uses CCP lol

Now the big question will be when Cisco announces the last day to test for the old exam.

Well i know I'm waiting for the new exam.. might as well just focus purely on CCIE. Who knows.. I might get that finished before Cisco even announces new ccna:s exam.. takes them years to do anything.

Any ideas whether CCP is going to be in the new exam?

Well according to the new book "there's like 1/10th of the amount of CCP in here compared to the 640-554 book"

If people are interested I can do a comparison of CCP from the index of the two books, as well as post the 210-260 Exam Syllabus from the book. If so I'll make a thread.

That'd be very helpful!

How were you able to purchase this book so early? Did they put it on the shelf early by mistake? Could you purchase me a copy and send it to me if I pay you for it haha jk.

The Cisco Black Market?

I think there is a huge mistake on the part of B&N, this doesn't even show up on CISCO's own ciscopress website.. could you please post the ISBN. Normally if a book is about to be published even 6 months out Amazon has it as a pre-order, the only new CISCO book I see is the CCNA Collaboration CICD 210-060 which comes out September 3rd.

isbn: 9781587205668

I called my B&N and they didn't have one in stock but said they could order one for me. Strange how B&N seems to have stockpiles of these but no one else does

I wonder if anyone's caught on yet.. When you do a google search for 210-260 it only brings up this thread and one on Reddit. Hopefully Cisco doesn't have web crawlers out there and come down on B&N lol

lol, yea this page and the author's own page. Either way I doubt Cisco wanted this book released already and someone screwed up.

A screwup on their part but this is good for the IT community as a whole. At least we know whether to test for the old exam or the new before it is "released". Plus we get to know what is on the new exam. Please post exam objectives for new CCNA Security exam if possible.
