Cisco and Pearson VUE Improve Security Innovations in Global Test Delivery





Cisco and Pearson VUE are continuing to
change the way IT certification testing is designed, delivered and
secured. As part of an ongoing plan for security enhancements, Cisco is
now requiring all Pearson VUE test centers delivering Cisco
certification exams to collect digital photos and digital signatures
during the admissions process, in addition to the current
identification requirements. This new layer of identity authentication
will help to ensure candidate identity and result in increased
assurance that individuals are presenting accurate certification
records in the marketplace. The new authentication technology will be
implemented in phases around the globe over the next 12 months. Looking
ahead, Cisco and Pearson VUE will continue to innovate new ways to
protect the integrity of Cisco certification and combat exam fraud. We
will continue to advise you of this initiative's next steps in the
coming year.

了打击考试作弊行为，思科要求所有进入思科VUE考点的考试者必须提供数码照片和数字签名。

据思科说，“这种新的身份认证方式将能保证考生身份，也增加了社会上个人记录的真实程度。”

思科Learning网站高级主管Jeanne Dunn表示，此举是未雨绸缪，防范于未然。不过，和思科一起与考试作弊战斗的CertGuard公司却认为，思科考场上作弊行为的严重程度比思科公开承认的要严重。“思科真的需要开放他们喜欢的浏览器，要能google到'CCIE' 或 'CCNA'，人们能轻易在网上搜索到braindump公司（出售思科考题和答案的公司），而且比一些合法的考试培训公司更易于搜索到，”CertGuard公司CEO和创始人 Robert Williams说，“在我的数据库上有600多家braindump公司，他们中98%的有与思科考卷非常近似的考题和答案，他们甚至有最近半年内的思科考卷，实际上，CCNA braindumps在互联网上比MCSE braindumps要多。”

思科考试行业的另一个问题即所谓的“枪手”问题，Williams表示，更恶劣的说法是“枪手”实际主宰了考试中心。
