Re: HELP NEEDED - Security Certifications

[Tamarcus A Person <tperson () csc com>]

Amol,

      I would suggest that you look into the Security+ certification. It
is, I believe, a simple certification to acquire for basic learners within
the security field. You can purchase an Exam Cram book for the Security+
certification as well.

Good luck and hope this helps!

Hi folks,
I'm looking for a good security certification .
I have searched through numerous sites,seen a few comparisons as well. But
still I think I need a word of advice from experienced security people, so
posting this messege.


The points to be taken into account:
1)I had some security training but don't have any global certification.
2)I'm working in the field of Infosec for a little less than a year.
3)I'm willing to go for a series of certs in a longer run.
4)I cant take my concetration off my work while preparing.
5)Main areas of my interests in IS include: Vulnerability assessment,Pen
testing,Forensics and packet analysis etc...

I had a look at these : ISC2>SSCP,
GIAC>GISF,SSP-MPA,GCIH,GHTQ,GSEC,GCFA,G7799 etc.


Your thoughts and Suggestions are precious for me.

Thanks and regards.
--Amol.
