  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.)

The CISSP requirements are not all that stiff if you have industry 
experience.  Not sure about the Microsoft Security cert as I have 
never looked at it.  But the Security+ certification from CompTIA
is targeted
towards IT folks who want to move into security.  It is a 
good starting
point.  There is also Sans.

I personally don't hold a lot of value in any of the certs
and when hiring
people I couldn't care less what letters are behind their 
name but what
skills they have and what kind of attitude they have.  
Although I highly
doubt this is the norm..

I was checking out CISSP requirements, looks pretty stiff.

What is this Microsoft security + cert? Any value to it
