MCSE: Security info - http://www.microsoft.com/Traincert/mcp/mcse/security/windows2000.asp
This is also the track I'm currently on. I've got my A+, MCP, and CNA (Certified Novell Administrator, not a Cisco typo.. :) ) I've got 3 tests left... The 70-220 (taking Oct. 10th, wish me luck), the 70-214 and the Security+. I'm pretty well prepared for the 70-220, so I've already cracked open a Security+ book. I must say, I'd highly recommend taking this over the other option (Microsoft's ISA) unless you specifically need the ISA knowledge. The Security+ is so much more broad in scope.

The Microsoft Cert consists of MCSE plus two additional requirements, one of which can be met by the CompTIA Security+ cert. (That's the route I'm taking.)
