Hey Simon: I have been doing security work for the last couple of years (Intrusion Detect, Policy compliance etc.) I did some investigation into the various Cert's and basically found that most people are looking for CISSP. I wanted to get one Cert this year and it going to be CISSP. I understand that the other cert's are well respected. The final decision should be based upon how the Cert will help in your career path.
Hope that helps.

Is it a good cert to get because I eventually want to get into security but at the moment I don't have the experience/cash to do the SANS or CISSP courses (plus the fact that SANS is offered in South Africa) Simon Quote of the day: Systems Administration is the kind of job that nobody notices if you're doing it well. People only take notice of their systems when they're not working. --- This email has been scanned by AVG Anti-Virus Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
