I am currently a script writer for FTP transmissions for various financial institutions. The Job and Pay is steady but there is no career path. What I do is pretty specialized and what I am finding out is there are other people out there that are in the exact same corner, basement as me. I have value but I do not think I posses any real skills that can be applied outside my job other than Unix. I am about a mile wide in terms of technologies I touch but only an inch deep. So the key (before the pink slip comes) is to find out what is available. I was asking about certifications or training in the area of internet security? I am using this stuff to transmitt some really secure stuff but that is all I do.. I do have to know Unix Scripting, and FTP Protocols.. PGP, SSH, SSL, which is neat but how do I parlay that into something more? I was thinking of Pursuing Cicso Router Training but wanted to know how much that could be applied to internet security. I am an old timer and even though I have done other things I figue I could stay in what I am doing otherwise I will have to do something else?
