Security
Hi Guys,
Could I get some input on a Security Path Career. I get my A.A.S in Network Security in MAR and I'm studying for the SECURITY+, after that I'm not sure, CISSP, MCSE Security track or a Cisco Track?
I have a pretty good job now so its not something I have to rush. Thanks for any help/experience you can part with.

I would recommend as order of choice:
CISSP
GISA
Cisco
Ethical Hacker
Vendor (OS) Security Track
Security +
From one navy dude to another -:):
In my experience of what companies appear to be looking for the CISSP and CISCO certs appear to be most commmon with Microsoft right behind. This however, changes obviously based on the needs of the employer, so it may be good to check the job posting boards such as Monster for Computer & IT security jobs - do a quick scan to verify which CERT is most prevalent. - Just a thought.

no matter what you decide on, try and combine it with some knowledge of the legal side. I can't point you in any particular direction (I'm in the UK, our legal constraints differ greatly)but I do know that the last time I had to go for interview, I came down to the wire purely because I had legal knowledge of applicable statute over here, and also knew (verbatim) the constraints I would have to work to under those laws.
As I said, just a small hint....it worked for me!
Best of luck
