The HCIE-Security certification test evaluates candidate technical knowledge and practical skills in enterprise network security architecture. The test covers core network security principles, firewall and intrusion prevention mechanisms, VPN technologies, identity and access management models, Huawei security product deployment, and security operations alongside incident response procedures. The certification remains valid for 3 years.
This certification suits network security professionals, senior network architects, and system administrators responsible for planning, deploying, and maintaining enterprise security infrastructures using Huawei products and administrative security controls.
Candidates should review official Huawei study materials and technical documentation. Practice configuring security products within a lab environment prior to testing. Focus on building VPN architectures, setting firewall rules, and practicing incident response procedures to prepare effectively for both written exam questions and hands-on lab components.
This domain covers general network security architecture, core security concepts, and communication layer protection protocols required to defend enterprise network environments against unauthorized administrative access and external security threats.
This domain focuses on firewall system architectures, intrusion prevention technologies, packet filtering techniques, and threat mitigation strategies used to establish perimeter control policies and defend enterprise network infrastructure effectively.
This domain addresses virtual private network technologies, including IPsec protocols, Internet Key Exchange negotiation, gateway access setups, remote connection methods, and secure tunneling mechanisms for protected enterprise data communication.
This domain examines identity and access management models, peer authentication mechanisms, user credential validation procedures, and access control framework design to maintain administrative security control across enterprise network infrastructure.
This domain involves practical configuration of Huawei security hardware and software products to implement technical security policies, manage network traffic controls, and enforce system deployment standards in production environments.
This domain covers security operations and maintenance, system debugging, log monitoring, and incident response procedures necessary for troubleshooting complex network security issues and maintaining overall operational systems integrity.
Manage your time effectively between the written questions and the hands-on lab portion. Read each scenario carefully before entering configuration commands or choosing responses during your testing appointment today.
The exam covers exactly 6 distinct domains, ranging from network security fundamentals and firewall technologies to VPN configuration, identity management, product deployment, and incident response operations.
The written exams use a scale of 0 to 1000, with a scaled score of 600 required to pass, which represents a 60% passing mark.
The official exam registration price is $900 USD. Candidates should verify current certification path options and registration requirements directly with Huawei before scheduling their exam session.
The testing process includes written question types such as Multiple Choice, Multiple Response, and True/False, alongside hands-on Lab/Practical tasks specific to the HCIE certification level.
