10/11/2005 -- Check Point recently unveiled a new NGX track for its line of security certifications.

Candidates can now get certified on the NGX line with two different titles:

• Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) NGX
• Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) NGX

The CCSA NGX requires passing one exam, #156-110. To become a CCSE NGX, candidates must pass the CCSA NGX exam plus one additional exam, #156-215.

Check Point has also released a one-exam upgrade path (#156-915) for CCSEs certified on the earlier NG version of the title.

The NG exams will remain available until Aug. 2006, the company said.

All Check Point exams are available at Pearson Vue testing centers worldwide.
