In
order to be a qualified security architect, candidates must
be able to do more than recite stats and respond to technical
questions. They must be able to understand the complexity of
business, interact with people, and have solid technical skills.
The Solution Exam is an exam with only one domain: Security
Scenarios.
Although this exam is still a multiple-choice exam, the questions
are considerably longer than a standard exam, in some cases
several pages. The answers themselves will also be considerable
in length. This is required to fully grasp the concept of the
scenario and the presented solutions.
In
these questions, you may be presented with quotes from interviews
with key personnel in a company, and required to create a solution
based on the response of those key personnel. You may also be
asked for detailed technical solutions to specific security
situations, where the solution
is only technical in nature.
The
Solution Exam will cover all facets of technologies covered
in The SCP courses. To successfully complete The Solution Exam,
candidates will require knowledge of the following, but not
limited to:
Firewalls, Intrusion Detection, Operating System Security, Risk
Analysis, Security Policies, Signature Analysis, Virtual Private
Networks, Router Security, Cryptography, PKI Planning, Digital
Signatures and Certificates, Biometrics and Strong Authentication,
Email Security, PKI Policy and Pilot, Smart Cards, Desktop Security,
Wireless Security, Law and Legislation, and Computer Forensics.
