IMPORTANT: I was NOT paid by Chris or Ross or the Wireshark Foundation to make this video. I will also receive NOTHING if you purchase any courses or anything else using the links below. This video is for education – not for making me money. I will however receive a commission if you buy Chris’s course on Udemy, so buy that course if you want to support both Chris and me. Otherwise buy other stuff and I will get nothing.
Is the new official Wireshark Certification (WCA) worth it, or is it just another “paper cert”? We put the creators, Chris Greer and Ross Bagurdes, in the hot seat at Cisco Live to get the truth and answer the community’s toughest questions.
We cover why this cert focuses on deep protocol analysis (like TCP, IP, and ARP) and isn’t just a “menu-clicking” trivia test. Find out why it’s the perfect next step after your CCNA, who it’s really for (network engineers, SOC analysts, threat hunters), and why it’s owned by the non-profit Wireshark Foundation.
Plus, we tackle the big objections head-on: Why does it cost as much as it does? And will AI make packet analysis skills (and this cert) totally useless? Their answers might surprise you. If you’re a network engineer looking to prove your skills beyond vendor certs, this is a must-watch.
