RE: Security Certifications. Help needed

["Sadanapalli, Pradeep Kumar (MED, TCS)" <Pradeep.Sadanapalli () med ge com>]

I am also looking for the same information. I have 3 years of experience
in linux. 
I am also thinking of taking Security+(CompTIA's) as a first step. Can
someone tell 
me if it is OK to go for Security+ ? What certifications do I need to
look that are
useful for a technical career in the areas of information security? Are
security 
certifications also there for particular platforsm ..I mean say for
Linux? Are they
limited in any way like that? Which are having a market value these days
on the technical 
aspects?

Thanks in advance...
