Good morning, everyone
I was planning to take the PCNSA certification, but I surprised when I noticed that this certification was retired in January 2025.
My question is: What is the new certification that replace PCNSA and what is the study guide or book that I must buy to pass this new certification
Thank you, Carlos.

Palo is working on a completely new certification that would be on par with the cisco CCIE
The new certificate is not going to be available for a pretty long time (last thing i heard was late 2026, early 2027)
in the meanwhile you could look into the professional and specialist certification:

Reaper,
Is there a study guide(s) to prepare for either exam - professional or specialist certifications?
