Mike,
I have the Security + cert, it's a good foundation, some of the Cisco cert
CCNA, CCNP, CCSP etc. will get you the networking, firewall grounding. As
far as the CISSP; I am working on it now, The telecommunication Domain is
called the glue this the recommendation for the Cisco direction. Spend some
time learning different OS systems Windows, LINUX, UNIX it is very helpful
going for the CISSP.

Hello Everybody,
I just finished my master's degree in Information Security from Stevens
Institute of Technology and I am looking to get my first security
certification. I've read about the many security certifications out there,
and I have decided to go with the Security+ certification from CompTIA. How
does everybody feel about this certification? I would've rather tried to
get the CISSP but you need experience for that, and that's something that I
don't have right now. Is this a good first certification in the Information
Security Field or are there better ones?
Mike B.
