Michal, 
   I have the Sec+ cert.  It was the first one I got when I was trying
to get into the security field.  I thought it was a good cert to begin
with.  It covered a lot of the same material as the CISSP, so it was a
good stepping stone to that.  It is definitely more technical than say a
CISSP, but doesn't really have the industry recognition.  Overall, I'd
say it was a good cert to begin with.  Have you looked at any certs from
SANS?  They are excellent.

Hi list,

have any of you obtained $SUBJ certifications already?
I saw objectives and sample questions and it looks like pretty easy.
Is it usefull to have it or not?
Thanks, Michal
