CCNP Security SCOR and Concentration: What the Exam Really Covers

CCNP Security SCOR and Concentration: What the Exam Really Covers

Corrected by Melik Can Sariyer · on Pass4Sure · 11 July 2026 · View published page ↗

A detailed breakdown of SCOR 350-701 and CCNP Security concentration options, what the largest domains test, Cisco ISE vs Firepower concentration...

The exact change

Before

"SCOR's coverage of Cisco Umbrella trips candidates who haven't used it..." - Mike Garza, CCIE Security, CBT Nuggets instructor [...] "SISE is the hardest concentration to study without access to an ISE instance..." - Jason Gooley, CCIE Security, author of Practical Cisco Identity Services Engine [...] Jason Gooley's Practical Cisco Identity Services Engine - product-level reference beyond exam scope but builds real understanding

After

SCOR's coverage of Cisco Umbrella trips up candidates who haven't used it... [de-attributed, no byline] [...] SISE is widely considered the hardest concentration to study without access to an ISE instance... [de-attributed, no byline, false book credit removed] [...] Practical Deployment of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) by Andy Richter and Jeremy Wood - product-level reference beyond exam scope but builds real understanding

Suggested change

De-attributed 1 unverifiable instructor quote and corrected a genuine book-authorship misattribution (wrongly credited to Jason Gooley) by removing the fabricated quote and incorrect attribution entirely.

Why this is better

De-attributed an unverified quote credited to 'Mike Garza, CCIE Security, CBT Nuggets instructor' with no locatable public record of this instructor, and corrected a genuine book-title/authorship error: a quote and a resource-list citation both falsely credited 'Jason Gooley' as author of 'Practical Cisco Identity Services Engine.' The real book is titled 'Practical Deployment of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE)' and is actually authored by Andy Richter and Jeremy Wood. Removed the unverified quote and incorrect attribution, and corrected the resource-list citation to the real title and real authors.
