Both of them are 90 minute exams each containing 55 – 60 queries. And while Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Fundamentals (SECFND) training is recommended for the first 210-250 SECFND certification, it is advisable to pass Implementing Cisco Cybersecurity Operations (SECOPS) course before the second one (210-255 SECOPS).

It is easy for you to take in the more advanced associate-level materials in the exam, “Implementing Cisco Cybersecurity Operations (SECOPS)”?

If so, there aren’t any reasons against your passing this exam. Moreover, having first-hand knowledge of Network Concepts, Security Concepts, Cryptography, Host Based Analysis, Security Monitoring and Attack Methods is very likely to ensure your success on the 210-250 SECFND exam.

Then why is another exam called Implementing Cisco Cybersecurity Operations so remarkable?
