Re: CCIE Security passed!

Ha! If I would have had it my way, I would have passed it on my 5 month mark after my CCIE RS. It took 3 attempts and two blueprints to pass. NEVER give up.

PS- I'm the "Security Guy" and I thought Security was going to be a walk in the park after R/S. I was wrong. Blueprint changes introduce the latest technologies available at that time, and it was difficult! Hence the 3 times it took.
