RE: Security Certifications. Help needed

["David Gillett" <gillettdavid () fhda edu>]

  There's a new security designation from Microsoft for 
people who have MCSE(2K) plus two additional requirements,
one of which is met by Security+.
  I believe there's a Cisco security designation just beyond
CCNP level.
  These are both options which build on cert paths you've 
already started along.

  (I have to echo the comments from others that experience
is probably more important than certifications.  Certifications
*do* demonstrate interest and commitment, and there've been a
couple of times I've run into strange things in the field that
I was able to identify because I'd seen them described in the
course of getting certs.)

David Gillett
CCSE/CCSA, MCSE(NT&2K), CCNA, A+
currently working on Security+ and CCNP
(6-7 years network/security experience, 
and 20 years before that as a software engineer)
