Alex,

Getting a security clearance is up to your employer, not you (if you are
talking about a Government security clearance). And this is dependent on
access and need to know as to what you would be cleared for.

If you are trying to apply for a Government position (Government Service) or
as a Government Contractor you will need a security clearance (usually
Secret or Top Secret). And this can be a rather involved process (my Top
Secret took over 18 months).

Looks like personal security clearance is the "must  have" for the
security professionals.
Does anyone know where to start getting US security clearance, or any
good web resources on that?
What are the different US security clearance levels available?

Thanks,

Alex
