Before taking any Cisco exam you must now provide a digital signature
and a digital photograph. The new policy, which Cisco says will be
rolled out worldwide next year is designed to help combat exam
cheating and to preserve the integrity of certifications, say Cisco
officials. The company reckons that exam cheating in the Cisco world
is an 'isolated problem' but CertGuard, which works with different
vendors to stamp out exam cheating says the problem is more widespread
for Cisco - even more than for Microsoft. CertGuard says it has even
spoken to so-called gunmen - who are paid to take tests for others -
who claim to own some testing centers.

Read the full story about Cisco's new exam policy and how there is a
lot more to be done before exam cheating is compeletely wiped out.

Exam cheating sucks because, as Cisco recognizes, it devalues the
whole nature of certifications for employees and employers.
