Get access to the CSAE learning materials here. It's a complete bundle including elearning, practice test, and the certification exam.
The CSAE has the knowledge and skill set required to implement security administration and engineering best practices in modern networks and systems. This professional has sufficient knowledge of network security, computer/systems security, data security, physical security, and cybersecurity allowing for the proper administration and engineering of security within these domains. The individual is aware of the security concepts, procedures, tools, and feature sets available and the capabilities they offer. The CSAE elearning course provides the knowledge required to plan, implement, manage, monitor, and control security in modern systems and networks. It includes more than 15 hours of learning materials, a practice test, and the certification exam that validates your skills as a CSAE.
The CSAE is a low-stakes, vendor-neutral networking certification, meaning that the certification exam is taken in the web browser within our LMS (learning management system) and it is not dependent on any specific vendor knowledge to prepare for the exam. This compares, for example, to a Security+ certification with added practical knowledge and more advanced skills. There are time constraints on the exam, which limits the ability to locate information during the exam and ensure exam credibility. The exam consists of 40 questions and, given that several questions will include scenarios on which the question is based, you are given 100 minutes to take the exam. A score of 70% or greater is a passing score and earns you the CSAE certification.
