Security Basics: RE: Security Certs

["David Gillett" <gillettdavid () fhda edu>]

  For the other requirement, I'm doing something MS calls
"Implementing Windows 2000 Security" (or very similar);
this is distinct from the "Designing Windows 2000 Security"
that I had as my "Designing" component of the MCSE.
  The combination of this and Security+ is not the only way
to qualify, but I don't recall the other options.
