RE: Security Certifications. Help needed

["Andrew Stevens" <andrews.stevens () cnn com>]

I think this conversation has been touched upon yesterday. Anyway here
goes again: Try to get some practical experience first and foremost. As
for certs there is a mix of conceptual vs practical on the security
scene. 

Take a look at:

1. CCIE Security - www.cisco.com/education - hands-on techie security 
2. Expert Security Associates (ESA) - www.securityassociate.org -
practical hacking, forensics and design
3. CISSP - www.isc2.org - conceptual management level, maybe in a few
years.
