Hello Dominic,
First of all, thank you very much for the tips.
I'm not sure if here is the right place, but what's the most important certifications in the security field? I'm graduating in Computer Engineering and want to prosper in IT security. I live in Brazil, but if I need I'll travel to another country to study and get some of these important certifications. I'm not too young like you seems to be (I'm 35) but that's what I want.
Thanks again. Best regards.
Marcus.
