Do I need real Firepower hardware?
Cisco offers Firepower Management Center evaluations and FTDv (virtual). dCloud (Cisco's sandbox) has free Firepower labs that are excellent for SNCF prep.
How is SNCF different from SCOR (350-701)?
SCOR is the broad CCNP Security core. SNCF is a Firepower-specific concentration. Pass both to get CCNP Security.
