RE: Security Certifications. Help needed

I highly recommend getting some *NIX training in the mix.  A true security professional needs all aspects of the job.  
You have the Windows part and will be getting some networking with the CCNA, but you do need that other side of the 
job.  Think about some of the SANS training, primarily I would suggest Track 1 first then Track 6 to get more specific 
with Unix.

Just my two cents worth.

Hi all.

I am a security specialist wannabee, i have an MCSE on NT4 platform and a 
MCP in windows 2000 and i am currently studying to become a CCNA and 
Security + certified Profeessional.

around available that should help me in this IT Security area?
