RSA enVision Certified Systems Engineer (CSE)

The RSA enVision Certified Systems Engineer (CSE) examination is based on the critical job functions that an individual would typically be expected to perform with competence when working with the RSA enVision product.
A Systems Engineer is a person who works in a technical support, sales support and/or technical implementation role within RSA, within an RSA Reseller organization, or within an organization using the RSA enVision product.

An analysis of the major job functions expected of an RSA enVision CSE determined that there are four major areas of job role responsibility:

• General knowledge about RSA enVision technology and product capability
• Designing solutions from understanding an organization’s needs and environments
• Installing solutions to meet requirements and which demonstrate RSA enVision product functionality
• Supporting solutions through troubleshooting specific implementation and system integration issues

Candidate Background and Experience

A Certified Systems Engineer candidate should have a minimum of two years of professional experience in one or more of the following technical areas and understand how these technologies relate to and integrate with the RSA enVision product. Elements of the CSE exam touch upon each of these areas.

• General knowledge of networking and network communications technology (IP, Routers, Servers) and their associated logging functions and messages
• General knowledge of hardware installation and configuration
• Some syntactical language exposure (C++, scripting, SQL, XML, etc)
• Awareness of business practices, compliance, and security needs served by effective data gathering, audits and reports

Examination Domains

The RSA enVision Certified Systems Engineer examination is comprised of four major Domains (subject areas). Each Domain is represented by a series of questions designed to evaluate competence and knowledge of elements relating to that domain. The following table describes the proportion of the examination that relates to each domain:

Domain	% of Examination
1.0: RSA enVision Product Knowledge	30%
2.0: Assessment / Design Solution	30%
3.0: Install Solution	25%
4.0: Support	15%
TOTAL	100%
