This certification is retired. CCSM ('Certified Security Master') does NOT appear in Check Point's current training-portal certification list (which shows CCSA, CCSE, CCES, CCTA, CCTE, CCPEL, CCAS, CCTPS, CCVS, CCME) nor in Check Point's Pearson VUE exam catalog. Could not confirm CCSM is still an active, purchasable certification - flagging as unverifiable/possibly discontinued for human review rather than guessing.
No formal prerequisites are published; anyone can register for the exam.
Valid for 2 years. Renew by exam.
