Cisco and Pearson VUE are continuing to change the way IT certification testing is designed, delivered and secured. As part of an ongoing plan for security enhancements, Cisco is now requiring all Pearson VUE test centers delivering Cisco certification exams to collect digital photos and digital signatures during the admissions process, in addition to the current identification requirements. This new layer of identity authentication will help to ensure candidate identity and result in increased assurance that individuals are presenting accurate certification records in the marketplace. The new authentication technology will be implemented in phases around the globe over the next 12 months. Looking ahead, Cisco and Pearson VUE will continue to innovate new ways to protect the integrity of Cisco certification and combat exam fraud. We will continue to advise you of this initiative's next steps in the coming year.
