Q&A

As mentioned in Chapter 1, "All About the Cisco Certified Security Professional," these questions are more difficult than what you should experience on the CCSP exam. The questions do not attempt to cover more breadth or depth than the exam; however, the questions are designed to make sure you know the answer. Rather than allowing you to derive the answer from clues hidden inside the question itself, your understanding and recall of the subject are challenged. Questions from the "Do I Know This Already?" quiz from the beginning of the chapter are repeated here to ensure that you have mastered the chapter's topic areas. Hopefully, these questions will help limit the number of exam questions on which you narrow your choices to two options and guess!

You can find the answers to these questions in Appendix A, "Answers to the "Do I Know This Already" Quizzes and Q&A Sections."
