Exam Profile: Cisco CCIE Security 350-018
The 350-018 exam is the written exam for the Security CCIE Lab track. In 2001, the security track was not around, so I took the Routing & Switching CCIE lab exam instead; however, I have subsequently recertified five times, taking the 350-018 exam to complete this recertification.
Once you have passed the 350-018, you can schedule your CCIE Security Lab exam in order to become a fully qualified CCIE.
The 350-018 exam is currently at version 3.0. The exam covers general networking, security appliances, management, technologies, and solutions. This is an expert level exam, so expect the questions to be rated accordingly. The level of detail can be extreme, and the scope of the questions very wide. I have heard people refer to exams as half an inch deep and a mile wide; this exam can be a mile deep and a mile wide!
