The Cisco CCIE certification validates the achievement of the highest level of technical knowledge and expertise across a wide range of security and internetworking related technologies. CCIE certification in Security would mean expert-level knowledge of IP and IP routing as well as specific security protocols and components.

The CCIE certification for security is a revered certification that requires no prerequisites but the candidates are encouraged to have at least 3 to 5 years hands on experience before attempting certification. The CCIE security certification is valid only for 2 years and needs to be recertified.

The CCIE Security Training involves passing two written qualification exams and an eight hour, hands on lab exam which is available at authorized Cisco Testing facilities. The successful candidate needs to recertify after every two years to ensure that the CCIE credential remains a meaningful measure of individual technical expertise for as long as a CCIE is active in the industry.
