A Conversation About Preparing for the VMware vDefend Security Certification (6V0-21.25)
CuriousTechie: Hello IT Guy! I need to prepare for and attempt for the VMware vDefend Security certification within a week’s time. Is that doable? What’s your opinion?
ITGuy: The answer is subjective. It depends on your current skill set, how much time you have spent working on NSX vDefend and how many hours you can commit to the lab over the next 7 days.
CuriousTechie: I have been a NSX admin for a few years now, and I work with the Distributed Firewall (DFW) daily. Does that put me in a good spot to crack the exam in one week?
ITGuy: That’s a great start! Let’s look at the exam blueprint. The VMware vDefend Security exam (6V0-21.25) is currently based on VCF 5.x (NSX 4.x). Here are a few pointers:
- This is an Administrator-level exam so you can expect low level questions on configuration options for a feature
- It tests core NSX basics, the Security Services Platform (SSP), and the Advanced Threat Prevention (ATP) suite.
