CCIE Security Version 4 vs Version 3

CCIE Security Version 4 vs Version 3

What really aroused me today, to write on this topic?
Version 4 is a kind of fever on minds of CCIE Security aspirants. What exactly is going to happen after change in version?
They are confused and worrying unusually.

If you think it is going to be difficult to clear CCIE Security Lab exam after change in version. You are wrong!
What exactly is going to happen, after change in CCIE Security Version 4?
There will be some minor changes in Exam pattern and a few technologies will be added, which can easily be covered in a week or two. May be troubleshooting section will be added in it, officially. Now, why i used the term "Officially"? Because There was already a hidden role of troubleshooting in CCIE Security Lab exam, in Lab configuration section. Candidates were already going through Troubleshooting part in VPN's. What exactly is going to happen, if they implement Troubleshooting section in CCIE Security Lab exam? Nothing much!, they will just launch it officially. As it was already there in Configuration part, so there will be no major changes, which can stop you or hold you for a long time to clear your lab exam.
The day CCIE Security Version 4 will be launched. It will not take more than 2 Months, to prepare for it, if you were already prepared for Version 3. So what does it mean? It clearly means that, it will take 2 Months for you to upgrade yourself from version 3 to version 4.

But

As, if you were already prepared for version 3 and Cisco just launched version 4, just before your lab exam. You can still go and attempt your CCIE Security Version 3 exam. As CCIE Security Version 3 exam will still be there for next 6 Months. So, those who want to attempt or were preparing for version 3, can still attempt version 3 exam.
So there is nothing to worry for version 4 Lab exam.

Some Candidates are having a question in there mind, that
If they passed their CCIE Security Lab exam in version 3 and then Cisco launched version 4, will they be counted as outdated Engineers? Rubbish Question! If it was really so, then Scott Morris or Mark snow or other senior Gem CCIE's were also be counted as OUTDATED CCIE's! :-o
So, be bold engineers! Nothing as such is going to be changed in Version 4, which can stop you to achieve your dream.
