Hi Victor,/ hi overyone,

sorry to bother you, but I have a valid VMCE 2024 certification, a Veeam University Pro subscription, and I'm starting the courses for the upcoming certifications. I have a question: Do I need to retake the exam for what would now be the VMCE+? Or do I just complete the courses? And does that automatically grant me the VMCE+? My goal is to get the VMCSE, and I understand that I would need to take the exam for that, but I'm unsure if I'd have to take two exams.

Thanks and regards.

Hey there.
I took the exam today and passed with 820/900. Overall, it was a great exam experience with well-crafted questions. For anyone interested, check out the official exam guide: Veeam Certified Security Expert Exam Guide.

@Marlon Cruz you need to get the VMCE+ certification first and also take the Veeam Data Platform: Enterprise Data Security training to get access to the VMCSE exam.

Best, Markus

Congrats !

For my part, I passed the VMCSE yesterday!

The breakdown was roughly 70% VBR/VSA, 20–25% ONE, and 5% VRO.

Key topics to prioritize for review:
- The Zero Trust principle
- Immutability: how retention changes are handled within backup chains
- RBAC roles
- Alerting, specifically integration with SIEM/SOAR
- Protection mechanism with Veeam Threat Hunter, YARA rules, Staged/Secure restore

The questions focus primarily on restoration.

 

Most questions follow the format: "You are a Veeam Backup & Replication administrator; the data protection policy is..." or "The RSSI/CISO wants..."

Note: Questions cover both the Windows and VSA versions.
