If you’re chasing the CCIE Security, you already know there’s no shortage of documentation — but there’s a real shortage of organized, exam-focused material that covers both the written qualifying exam and the 8-hour lab in one place.
That’s exactly what we built.
Meet cciesec.it-learn.io
cciesec.it-learn.io is a dedicated CCIE Security study hub built and maintained by it-learn.io. It covers two exams end-to-end:
- Written Exam — 350-701 SCOR (120-minute qualifying exam)
- Lab Exam — CCIE Security v6.1 (8-hour hands-on: 3h Design + 5h Deploy, Operate & Optimize)
The site is structured around the official exam domains so you always know where you stand relative to the actual test.
What’s Inside
Written Exam — 350-701 SCOR
Six domains, weighted exactly as Cisco publishes them:
| Domain | Weight |
|---|---|
| 1.0 Security Concepts | 25% |
| 2.0 Network Security | 20% |
| 3.0 Securing the Cloud | 15% |
| 4.0 Content Security | 15% |
| 5.0 Endpoint Protection and Detection | 10% |
| 6.0 Secure Network Access, Visibility, and Enforcement | 15% |
Each domain breaks down into its objectives so you can drill exactly what you need — not a chapter at a time.
Lab Exam — CCIE Security v6.1
Two modules, two very different skill sets:
- Module 1: Design (3 hours) — Architecture and solution design across all five lab domains
- Module 2: Deploy, Operate & Optimize (5 hours) — Hands-on configuration, troubleshooting, and optimization
The five lab domains mirror what Cisco actually tests: Perimeter Security & IPS, Secure Connectivity & Segmentation, Identity Management & Access Control, Advanced Threat Protection & Content Security, and Infrastructure Automation & Programmability.
Study Tools Built In
The hub isn’t just reading material — there are four interactive tools built directly into the site:
Flashcards — Flip-style cards for every objective. Great for rapid review and the commute grind.
Practice Quiz — Exam-style multiple-choice questions. Timed, randomized, and scoped by domain so you can focus your weak spots.
My Progress — Tracks your streak, mastery percentage, and quiz scores per domain. You’ll know exactly where you’re solid and where you need another pass.
Labs — Hands-on topology references for the v6.1 lab domains. Not simulations — reference material to pair with your actual lab environment.
Each lab opens a full detail view with a network topology diagram and a numbered task list — exactly the structure you’ll face in the real exam.
Join the WhatsApp Community
We also launched a WhatsApp channel specifically for CCIE Security candidates. It’s where we share:
- Study tips and exam strategies
- New content drops from the hub
- Community Q&A on tricky lab topics
- Updates as the exam blueprint evolves

No spam. Just focused content for people working toward the cert.
Who This Is For
The site is aimed at engineers who:
- Already hold a CCNP Security or equivalent hands-on experience
- Are actively studying for the SCOR written or the v6.1 lab
- Want structured review material they can work through systematically — not just a pile of PDFs
If you’re earlier in your journey and building toward the CCIE, check out the Network+ and Security+ resources on it-learn.io to build the foundation first.
What’s Coming Next
The site is live and growing. On the roadmap:
- Expanded practice question banks per objective
- Lab scenario walkthroughs for v6.1 Module 2
- Domain-specific deep-dive blog posts (starting with identity management and ISE)
- Community-contributed study notes
Bookmark cciesec.it-learn.io and join the WhatsApp channel to stay in the loop as new content drops.
Good luck out there. The CCIE Security is a grind — but it’s absolutely achievable with the right structured approach.
