Outro

Cisco just announced massive changes for 2026, including free AI training, a new Ethical Hacking certificate, and the return of the Wireless track. In this video, I sit down with Ryan and Lacey from Cisco to break down the biggest updates to the certification portfolio since 2020. Whether you are looking to break into Red Teaming with the new Ethical Hacker track, recertify your CCNA/CCNP using free CE credits, or master the new AI infrastructure, this guide covers everything you need to know to level up your career for free. What's Inside: • Free AI Training: How to get 16+ CE credits through the new RevUp program. • Ethical Hacking: Details on the new "Red Team" certificate and where to find the free course. • Wireless is Back: The return of the CCNP and CCIE Wireless tracks. • Cybersecurity Overhaul: CyberOps is evolving into CCNA/CCNP Cybersecurity. • Recertification Hack: How to use these free courses to renew your existing certifications without paying for exams.
