Hello

 

I have passed the NSE7 certificate and managing to pass the NSE8 .

Since there is not too much information \ material on this certificate , and no material in the network security academy , I wanted to ask here :

- If anyone familiar with the material ?

- Which products are involved in the NSE8 exam ?

- Is it much difficult than the NSE7 exam ?

- Does anyone familiar with sites that give courses and material on this exam ?

 

NSE8 certified engineers , can you please share you experience at the NSE8 exam ?

 

Thanks

    It's  a combination of both but I would  suggest talking to the folks.  Be warn of the "expiration"  to TBD.
