 Re: Check Point Master Security Architect
Yes, looks like it's going to be a reasonably tough cert to get - which is a good thing for making it more valuable.
I hadn't realised they were planning on making having pretty much all the other exams compulsory though - you need to pass 6 exams before you can sit the written for this one. cf with Cisco's approach - you need CCNA to do CCNP, but you don't need any prerequisites to do CCIE.
Having to do CCSE+ and CCMSE is fair enough I guess, but it's interesting that you've got to do at least one of the exams in what I would call the non-traditional Check Point area - i.e. Integrity/Interspect/Connectra.
It's quite a good thing to give you the chance to submit questions. I've been meaning to do it for a few weeks now, but haven't had the chance to sit down and go through some challenging scenarios.
It's something I would like to do in the future, but it looks like it might be a few years away for me, since I'm going to be out of the loop for 18 months or so from next year, so by the time I come back, all my curent certs will have expired, and I'll have to resit them, followed by these exams. Would still be cool to get though - especially if it really takes off, and you get one of the low numbers.  |
