Thanks Lars. Been there, but kinda unclear:

Candidates for CCSP will now need only four exams (three required, one elective) with the introduction of the new CCNA Security as a prerequisite, instead of the five exams required today (four required, one elective). ** Retired exams that have been passed may be used towards exam requirements for three years.

It took me a while to find out that the new CCNA Security is 640-553 Are the three required, one elective as follow, though?

Required Exam(s)

642-504 SNRS 642-524 SNAF 642-533 IPS

Elective Exam(s)

642-591 CANAC OR 642-545 MARS OR 642-515 SNAA
