I agree solely!!!! But I think you must not relay on CCNA / CCSP only for TCP/IP knowledge. You should also look into microsoft's networking protocols. Unix /Linux is a must must.
For starter C++ and socket may not be essential. But I believe BS7799 is necessary for starter. There are some indian institutes that offer BS7799 (lower the cost!!!). On how far you are willing to go, that depends on how much you want to get paid for.... USD5000/= per day for consultancy :) Statistically this is the highest paid job in the market. regards, Arif Rahim On 08 Apr 2007 10:14:19 -0700, Linux Bangladesh < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Since the original question was on institutes, you can try the following > > as wel > > a. for more information on Network Security and training, try > http://www.blackhat.com, and http://www.sans.org > > b. for training available in India, try http://www.paladion.net > > I would not vouch for RHCE, but you definitely will need all the > knowledge you can gather from CCNA and preferably CCNP (on second > thought, why not CCSP as well :D).
