Hi Usama.
not directly related to choosing a vendor for your studies.
It is always good to estimate where you are in terms of Security track
blue-print. it would be a good idea to copy over blue-print topics and
dwell on them for a while marking your strong and weak areas. This will
give you a good estimate at the start of your journey and also will help
you mark your progress as you go.
Some blue-print topics a covered better by one vendor, some by the
others. Some are very will covered by CiscoPress books like PKI
Uncovered, AAA identity Management etc. It takes some time to evaluate
all of this but it may pay back in the future by streamlining your study
process.
It is also good to start getting exposed to security related tasks on
your job, in case if you haven't been yet.

security advice! Hello all, I write to you a bit frustrated and seeking
your advice. I got my CCIE R&S in 2009 and I would now like to pursue my
CCIE security. I am however finding that there aren't as many resources
available for the security track as there are for R&S. I have realised I
am not quite there for a bootcamp yet. I have the books for the
recommended reading but I find, unless I have the equipment I get
nowhere. (short attention span maybe) I have looked around and I see a
lot of Video on Demands offered by vendors. I wanted to know, in your
respective opinions, how good these VOD are? which vendor's VOD would
give me the most knowledge, take me from basic concepts and dive into
more complex ones. I know this is a very controversial topic at times as
there are many vendors present on this mailing list. The intent of this
e-mail is not to cause any "drama" As always your advice is much
appreciated. Thank you, Usama Blogs and organic groups at
