Hello Amit! For getting into the InfoSec industry, the basic is that you need to have in-depth knowledge of Linux/Unix as well as Windows server-client operating systems. Further, for application security you need to have the OWASP basics clear with some experience. Plus, for network security you need to have in-depth knowledge of packet filtering, hands-on with firewalls and other intrusion devices, experience with Servers like Web, DNS, Proxy, etc. For certification, RHCE+RHCSA is cool for the Linux knowledge, and in addition to that you can earn more Security certifications later like CEH. Even CCNA Security is nice.
