Common Questions about CCSP

Do you need to be CCNP first before you proceed with a CCSP certification?
After you obtain your CCNA you get go directly to the Cisco Security Professional

I just recently checked Cisco Press CCSP documentation and noticed that the first 4 exams listed now have a Quick Reference Sheets listed as a resource for the exams.

What is a Quick Reference Sheets?

The Quick Reference Sheets provides a concise review of all objectives covered in CCSP. There is a Quick reference sheet for 4 exams.

The Quick reference is an E-book that you can quickly download to you PC soon after it is purchased. You do not have to wait for the product to be shipped to you. You have access to the book minutes after the purchase but remember that the book is a secure book meaning that you cannot send the file to all your buddies for them to view. The PDF file is encrypted for your use only but you can view the file a number of you own systems. The Quick Reference Sheets can view on XP and Vista systems. The Quick Reference Sheets make an excellent CCSP Quick study guide.

When I purchased the guides, I made the mistake of downloading the file and immediately trying to view it without first activating the file on Adobe's DRM Activator site. What a mistake that was%u2026.

To view the file you will require Adobe Reader 6.x, 7.x, or the free Adobe Digital Editions. Vista doesn't support the Adobe Reader 6.x, 7.x, so you will require Adobe Digital Edition.

There are two options to validate the file on Adobe's DRM Activator site. One option to validate the file is to use .NET Passport or simply just create Adobe account. I highly recommend that you create the Adobe account and validate your system because the .NET Passport was flakey at best.

I highly recommended a Quick Reference Sheets as CCSP Quick Study Guide. Here is the link for the Quick reference sheets. Good luck with the exam.
