04 / FAQs
Questions before you start
When did Cyber Ops exam 210-250 retire?+
The Cisco Cyberops exam 210-250 SECFND, along with its counterpart 210-255 SECOPS, retired on May 28, 2020. They have been replaced by the 200-201 CBROPS exam.
What’s the difference between CyberOps and Security+?+
Cisco CyberOps (SECFND + SECOPS) trains you for hands‑on SOC roles focusing on security monitoring, log analysis, incident detection, response, and deeper networking. While CompTIA Security+ covers broad foundational security topics (like access control, cryptography, risk, and compliance), is vendor-neutral and ideal for entry-level IT/security roles.
What is the passing score for the Cisco CyberOps SECFND (210‑250) exam?+
You need to score at least 825 out of 1,000 to pass the Cisco CyberOps SECFND (210‑250) exam; candidates often mention passing with scores like 834, 852, or higher.
What is the minimum GPA for Cisco?+
Cisco does not have a single, universal GPA requirement, but hiring and internship teams often look for a solid academic record. Here's a breakdown:
- Many engineering intern and entry-level roles typically prefer a GPA of 3.0 or higher (on a 4.0 scale).
- Some competitive off‑campus drives or programs set the bar at around 8.5/10 GPA.
- Specialized events like the Cisco Ideathon might require a minimum CGPA of 6.0/10. Unless it’s a recruiter on campus, very few employers give a single thought to GPA.
Cisco emphasizes skills, certifications, relevant experience, and cultural fit just as much (if not more) than GPA.
What is the validity of the certification?+
Cisco CyberOps certifications, including the SECFND (210‑250) associate exam, are valid for three years from the date you earn them. To maintain your certification, you must recertify before it expires by earning continuing education (CE) credits or passing a qualifying exam.
What are the prerequisites for this exam?+
There are no official prerequisites for the certification exam.
What is the exam registration fee?+
USD 300
Where do I take the exam?+
What is the format of the exam?+
Multiple-Choice Single Answer, Multiple-Choice Multiple Answer & Drag and Drop, Fill-in-the-Blank & Testlet, and Simulation.
How many questions are asked in the exam?+
The exam contains 60-70 questions.
What is the duration of the exam?+
90 minutes
What is the passing score?+
750-850
What is the exam's retake policy?+
The policies for retaking exams are as follows:
- Candidates may only take a beta exam once.
- Candidates who fail an exam must wait a period of five (5) calendar days, beginning the day after the failed attempt, before they may retest for the same exam.
- Once passed, a candidate must wait a minimum of 180 days before taking the same exam with an identical exam number.
- Candidates who violate these policies are in violation of the agreement. Such conduct is strictly prohibited as described in the Cisco Certification and Confidentiality Agreement.
What is the validity of the certification?+
Exams for associate and professional level certifications are valid for three years from the date you pass.
