Let me just add, ICSA Labs created a certification aimed at system and network admins moving into security work called TICSA. I am on the advisory board for it. You can find info at

Again and again and again...  This question seems to be the "are we
there yet" of the security industry these days.  No matter how
many times it has been answered, it will be inevitably asked again.

So let me have at it, in a nutshell...

They both have their merits, but they both also have their defects.
CISSP (which I hold) is more of a policy, managerial type cert.
SANS is more of a technical cert, but has less (but growing fast)
awareness among the HR community.

Make up your own mind, or google for one of the lengthy threads
in many places to have your mind made up for you.
