What this qualifies you for

Listed specifically for 1 work role — up to Advanced proficiency. Because options cascade downward, a cert listed at Advanced also satisfies Intermediate and Basic for that role.

652Security ArchitectDesigns enterprise and systems security throughout the development lifecycle; translates technology and environmental conditions (e.g., law and regulation) into security designs and processes.Advanced

Also listed for 14 Cyberspace Enablers roles — but so is every other certification

The Enablers matrix isn’t role-differentiated: the same certification options are listed for all 14 roles at every proficiency level. We verified that across all 14. So this is true, and it carries no information about this credential specifically — which is why it isn’t in the count above.

Renewal

3year cycle80CE credits per cycle

This is the issuer’s clock. 8140 runs a second one — 20 hours of CPD a year, at every proficiency level, which applies even if you hold no certification at all. How that works

Professional level requires 80 CE credits, not the 30 an Associate-level Cisco certification needs.

Verifying it

Cisco has no public lookup a third party can use on their own — verification depends on a badge URL you share.

A badge URL the holder shares. Credly proves a badge exists, not who holds it.

Track this credential

Cisco has no holder-independent public lookup. Verification needs a code or transcript the holder generates.

Cisco serves both a v1.1 and a v1.2 PDF and its exam page still said v1.1 in 2026. Diffing them: all six weights are identical, and the only change is domain 6, renamed from Automation to Automation and artificial intelligence. The version label is ambiguous; the blueprint is not.
