Aspiring network security admin need to interview
I want to one day pursue a network security field. I have to interview someone in the field for college, so I'm going to post 2 questions that need to be answered.
1. What courses(certifications/degrees) are required for this area? What courses(certifications) are beneficial, but not required? 2. How can I prepare myself for this career outside of class - extracurricular activities, internship, leadership roles, part-time work, anything else? What do you suggest? Thank you for your time |

RE: Aspiring network security admin need to interview
In case you're planning to go in to information security or network security domain, I'd say you should take a serious look at being Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) governed by (ISC)².
It is accredited by the ANSI American National Standards Institute to ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Standard 17024:2003. Moreover, It's also approved by US department of defense. A CISSP is a globally recognized course and security professionals passing it are one of the most sought out professionals in the field of information security. More details here: - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certified_I...ofessional You can find benefits of CISSP certification here: - https://www.isc2.org/cissp-why-certify.aspx Also, CEH from EC council is also a good choice. Details here:- https://www.eccouncil.org/certification/...acker.aspx You can also begin with a Microsoft's MCSE certificate with specialisation in security. |
