The GPPA exam, officially titled GIAC Certified Perimeter Protection Analyst, is the GIAC exam you pass to earn the GIAC Certified Perimeter Protection Analyst certification, a credential at the Professional level. Passing it confirms the skills defined in the official exam outline, and it is associated with related credentials such as GIAC Security Essentials (GSEC), GIAC Certified Intrusion Analyst (GCIA), GIAC Certified Incident Handler (GCIH).

The GPPA exam includes 75-115 questions and gives you 180 minutes to finish them. That is a tight pace per question, so get used to reading each stem once, flagging anything uncertain, and moving on rather than getting stuck. Running timed practice tests in the Fast2test desktop or online test engine is the most reliable way to build that rhythm before exam day.

The passing score for the GPPA exam is Approximately 72%, and the official registration fee is $949-979 USD (varies by region and bundle). Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying $949-979 USD (varies by region and bundle) again in full to retake it, so book your slot only when your scores on Fast2test practice tests sit consistently above the passing line.
