The percentage is the exam weighting; the bar is how many verified questions we hold there, so a short bar is where our bank is thin.

Every question here is checked against the official page it cites before it serves, which is why the count grows slowly.

Where to focus: Security Data Management is the single heaviest section at 20%. Scaling Cybersecurity Defenses, Measuring Security Program Effectiveness and Security Capability Selection are 15% each, so architecture and measurement outweigh incident work here.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the Splunk Certified Cybersecurity Defense Architect exam cost?

Splunk lists the exam at $130 USD per exam attempt and delivers it through its testing partner Pearson VUE, at a test centre or with an online proctor. A retake costs the same $130 again.

How long is the exam and how many questions does it have?

Splunk publishes 67 multiple choice questions in 75 minutes. Splunk notes on the test blueprint that the 75 minutes include three minutes to review the exam agreement, so the working time is 72.

What is the passing score?

Splunk publishes no passing score for this exam, and no exam code either. It states the question count, the time limit and the section weightings on its test blueprint and stops there, so any percentage you see quoted elsewhere is somebody's estimate rather than Splunk's number.

What do I need before I can sit it?

Splunk lists no prerequisite for this exam. Anyone can register for it.
