Matt,

I that case, I strongly suggest the CISSP. It is a great higher level overview of very important security concepts and issues with enough technical meat to allow you interact at the appropriate level with the technical people in the fields that the bodies of knowledge cover.

I wish you good luck!

Cheers,
Jesse

Matt,

That entirely depends on your purpose, experience, and career-path.

If you want a general overview type of certification that doesn't go deep into a vertical technical arena, the CISSP is pretty good. If you are looking
at business and technical process management or consulting regarding
technology, the CISSP is great. If you want it for deep technical security knowledge, don't do it unless you need to round out technical security
experience or areas of knowledge you don't have now.

I think you have just described where I want my career to go.  I'm
interested in being a data center manager and hopefully work my way up to
being a CIO.  I'm tired of being at the bottom of the food chain.

It's not what I know that counts.
It's what I can remember in time to use.
