I am a recent college graduate with a degree in CIS. So far, I have only held two ‘computer related jobs’; one with the title of ‘Computer Support Specialist’ and my current title of ‘Computer Operator’. More and more I am becoming interested in Information Security. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions/ideas/comments, etc. on 1.) how to come from a job of ‘Desktop Support’…
User:”Um, How do I turn on my computer? (lol)
…” to entering into the world of Information Security.
2.) Should I begin to study for CISSP this early in the game? Is CISSP the right starting point cert? Do I need to start w/ a cert?
3.) What should I be doing NOW in my current job(I report to Sys Admin)to ‘dabble’in this area?
…By the way YES I have been on the internet and reading a few books, just thought I’d poll the TR community & get some wisdom/suggestions from you guys!!!
