CCNP Security (SCOR) practice test — with hands-on labs, not just flashcards

Most CCNP Security (SCOR) prep stops at multiple-choice questions. CrushCert adds hands-on labs where you type live Cisco IOS commands into a pre-built topology — no Packet Tracer setup, no simulator to buy — alongside 150+ adaptive practice questions and a full timed mock exam. Everything for the exam, in one place.

How CrushCert gets you exam-ready

WHAT SETS US APART

Hands-on Cisco labs

Type real Cisco IOS commands into a simulated terminal, then drag-and-drop and troubleshoot live topologies. This is where the exam is won — and what flashcard apps can't give you.

Adaptive practice

The algorithm tracks every question you miss and serves more of those topics, so your weak areas get more reps and every session moves your score.

Realistic mock exams

Full-length, timed tests that mirror the real exam — countdown timer, question navigator, mark-for-review, and a 80% pass line so you know you're ready before exam day.

Sample CCNP Security (SCOR) practice questions

Sample — Network Security
Which protocol is most commonly used to build secure site-to-site VPN tunnels?
A) GRE
B) IPsec ✓
C) MPLS
D) PPP

IPsec provides encryption and authentication for site-to-site VPNs, frequently negotiated with IKEv2. Every CrushCert question includes an explanation like this.

Sample — Secure Network Access
Which EAP method uses certificates on BOTH the client and the server for mutual authentication?
A) LEAP
B) EAP-FAST
C) PEAP-MSCHAPv2
D) EAP-TLS ✓

EAP-TLS performs mutual certificate authentication — the strongest common method. PEAP uses a server cert only, building a TLS tunnel for inner password authentication.

Sample — Cloud Security
In the shared responsibility model for IaaS cloud, who is responsible for patching the guest operating system?
A) Neither
B) The cloud service provider
C) Both the provider and customer jointly
D) The customer ✓

In IaaS, the customer is responsible for managing and patching the guest OS, applications, and data. The provider manages only the underlying infrastructure (hypervisor, storage, network).

Sample — Network Security
Which VPN technology builds dynamic spoke-to-spoke tunnels using mGRE and NHRP?
A) GETVPN
B) Site-to-site crypto map
C) SSL VPN
D) DMVPN ✓

DMVPN combines multipoint GRE, NHRP (next-hop resolution), and IPsec so spokes register with the hub and then build direct spoke-to-spoke tunnels on demand.

Sample — Security Concepts
Which component of the CIA triad ensures that data has not been altered in transit?
A) Confidentiality
B) Availability
C) Authentication
D) Integrity ✓

Integrity ensures that data has not been modified, tampered with, or corrupted during transmission or storage. Hashing algorithms like SHA-256 are commonly used to verify integrity.
