I agree with some of the other comments - calls ISC2. Beyond that, in order to get better suggestions as to alternat paths, can you give us an idea of the area you were working in and where your interests are? Beyond product and vendor-specific certs, there are good opportunities and certs in areas such as audit or secure app development. A lot is driven by your goals. Speaking as someone who recently had to do some hiring, I found that I was more interested in people with some demonstrated experience in the area they were applying for than for the higher level certs. For some of the folks I was willing to fund SANS training as part of the hiring package if the personality and experience fit.

I'm middle aged and have reservations about going back for a 4 year degree. Most postings for security analysts want a CISSP or a degree. I have 4 years solid experience, but that doesn't count for much these days. What suggestions can anyone give me for other certs that will help get a better job? The MCSE security cert? CCNP security? Security+ ? Are any of these going to get me anywhere further in my career? I don't have the cash for the SANS as I live outside the US.
