Overview
What this certification is and how the exam works.
The 300-740 SCAZT exam — Designing and Implementing Secure Cloud Access for Users and Endpoints — is the newest CCNP Security concentration exam and, combined with the 350-701 SCOR core exam, earns the CCNP Security certification. It is the zero trust and secure access exam in the track, aimed at engineers designing access for a workforce that is no longer inside a perimeter. The blueprint covers architecture and components (20%) — zero trust principles, the SASE and SSE model, and the Cisco component set including Secure Access, Duo, Umbrella, Multicloud Defense, Secure Workload, ISE, and XDR; security foundation (20%) — authentication and authorization, MFA and phishing-resistant factors, SSO, certificates and encryption, least privilege, and continuous verification; user and device security (20%) — Duo policy, trusted endpoints and device health, posture, and Secure Client modules; network and cloud security (20%) — ZTNA versus VPN, traffic steering, secure web gateway, DNS-layer security, firewall as a service, and cloud workload protection; application and data security (10%) — private application access, CASB and shadow IT, DLP, and workload segmentation; and visibility and assurance (10%) — telemetry, XDR, ThousandEyes, and zero trust maturity measurement. The exam runs 90 minutes.
Why should I take the exam?
What this credential does for your career.
- 1Completes CCNP Security when paired with the 350-701 SCOR core exam
- 2The most current exam in the track — it addresses zero trust, SASE, and SSE rather than perimeter-era design
- 3Maps directly to the hybrid-work access problem most enterprises are actively solving
- 4Covers the Cisco secure access portfolio end to end: Secure Access, Duo, Umbrella, Multicloud Defense, and XDR
- 5Builds design reasoning — when ZTNA replaces VPN, where to steer traffic, and how to measure zero trust maturity — that transfers beyond any single product
