The 2B0-023 exam — officially the ES Advanced Dragon IDS — is Enterasys Networks's certification exam for professionals who work with its technologies, and passing it awards the Enterasys Certified Security Engineer (ECSE) certification at the Professional level. Vendor-issued credentials like this one remain among the clearest signals of skill a resume can carry. It also connects naturally to ES Dragon IDS (2B0-018), Enterasys Certified Engineer (ECE) as a next step.
