Thanks for the listing Danny, good overview of the "core" topics/certs.
However, kinda wrong focus when it comes to the "new" exams if you ask me.
I don't really understand why courses like the automation, maestro, endpoint or cloud specialist release prior to an actual updated VSX/MDM course. In my opinion MDM and VSX are technologies that somebody will encounter quite often in the market. If such person did not work with Check Point prior to R80 she or he is simply lost as no updated training is available.
I mean yes, the Multi-Domain Security Mangement Specialist is coming - but still, VSX is not even planned so far, as the previous course that included VSX and MDM was splitted in two. I also don't understand why the CCSE does not include VSX and MDM at least partly. The certification is called "Expert" (or "Engineer" - seems to both be the case regarding to the official documents) but does not loose a word about MDM or VSX at all. I mean sure, the three days training is very short, but maybe this could be extended to 4 with the addition of the just mentioned technologies. Maybe extra day could also be optional for the ones who are interested. Also an intro to the specialist topics would be really helpful in the e.g. CCSA course, so that you can get a brief overview of the topics to then decide if you want to dig deeper into them.
At least thats my opinion, the certification program looks like it becomes a forest of certs that no one really has a clue what it is about. I mean honestly quantity < quality.
