To pass the 100-160 exam you need 700 out of 1000, and the official registration fee is USD 125. Since a failed attempt is not discounted — retaking means paying USD 125 in full again — treat the booking as the last step, not the first. Work through the ValidVCE practice questions until your timed scores sit comfortably above 700 out of 1000, and only then lock in your exam date.

The 100-160 (Cisco Certified Support Technician (CCST) Cybersecurity) is the official Cisco examination that awards the Cisco Certified Support Technician (CCST) Cybersecurity certification to candidates who pass it. Within the Cisco program it is classed as a Entry / Associate credential. It sits alongside related certifications such as Cisco CyberOps Associate. Because the credential comes straight from the vendor, employers treat it as verified proof of skill — and the 360 practice questions at ValidVCE follow the same published blueprint.

The official Cisco Certified Support Technician (CCST) Cybersecurity blueprint breaks the content into 5 domains, starting with these three:

• Vulnerability Assessment and Risk Management (20%)
• Endpoint Security Concepts (20%)
• Essential Security Principles (20%)

The full domain-by-domain outline is listed above on this page — use it as your checklist while you work through the ValidVCE practice questions.

On exam day you will have 50 minutes to complete 40-50 questions in the 100-160 exam. Divide your attention deliberately: answer what you know first, mark anything doubtful, and sweep back through flagged items near the end rather than burning minutes on a single question. The best way to defuse time pressure is exposure — schedule at least one full-length timed session in the ValidVCE test engine so the pacing feels automatic when it counts.

For structured learning, Cisco recommends these official courses for 100-160 candidates:

• Cisco Networking Academy - Junior Cybersecurity Analyst Career Path
• Cisco Official Training

Courses explain the why; the 360 practice questions at ValidVCE drill the how-fast. Combining the two is the shortest route most candidates find.

Before you register, review the stated prerequisites: No formal prerequisites; basic networking knowledge recommended
