Official domain weights

The percentage of the exam each domain carries. Weight your revision by these numbers, not by what you find hardest.

Domain	Weight	Topics	Practice Qs
Network Security	25%	Describe network security technologies (Firewalls, IDS/IPS, VPNs, NAC) Configure and verify network security controls (ACLs, Zone-Based Firewalls) Describe secure network architecture (DMZ, VLANs, 802.1X) +1 more	25
Security Concepts	20%	Describe common security concepts (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability, AAA, Least Privilege) Describe common security threats (Malware, Phishing, DoS/DDoS, Social Engineering) Describe cryptographic concepts (Hashing, Encryption, Digital Signatures, PKI) +1 more	20
Cryptography and PKI	10%	Compare symmetric vs. asymmetric cryptography Describe the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) components (CA, RA, Certificates) Configure and verify IPsec VPNs (IKE, ESP, AH) +1 more	10
Access and Identity Management	15%	Describe identity management concepts (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting) Configure and verify AAA protocols (RADIUS, TACACS+) Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) and certificate-based authentication +1 more	15
Security Operations and Monitoring	30%	Describe and configure security monitoring tools (SIEM, NetFlow, Syslog) Analyze and interpret security event logs (Attack vectors, Anomaly detection) Describe incident response processes (Detection, Analysis, Containment, Eradication, Recovery) +1 more	30

The heaviest domain is Network Security at 25%, and that is where lost points cost you the most. Certilum scores you per domain so you can see the difference between a knowledge gap and a formatting problem.

Note from the vendor record: Active. The current official title remains Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals, but the exam code is now shown as 200-201 CCNACBR (previously 200-201 CBROPS) at v1.2; Cisco announced the blueprint update to v1.2 with last date to test v1.1 on January 20, 2025 and first date to test v1.2 on January 21, 2025 (AI-related topics added). The certification was renamed CyberOps Associate to Cybersecurity Associate on January 21, 2025 and then rebranded CCNA Cybersecurity, with existing holders migrated February 3, 2026 and exam content unchanged in that rebrand.
