examples of network security policies
Certification Question??
I currently hold MCSA 2k3 and MCSE 2k I’m now studying for the upgrade to MCSE 2k3. I’m considering moving on to MCITP “enterprise admin” or considering CCNA or CCNP cert’s. Which in your opinion should I pursue first MCITP or CCNA? What about Citrix cert’s CCA for example ?
Also, I’ve scored the highest on the MCP exams in implementing security in a microsoft network directory service and/or infrastructure. After looking up the requirements for CISSP certification; are there any other security cert’s that are worthwhile? I have 9 yrs experience as a network admin but no experience in the specific field of ntwk security. I can write and implement security policies, implement and enforce security templates, and GPO’s with the best of ‘em; I can setup up secure sessions; set up encrypted/secure VPN connections using ipsec for example, I but can I say I have actual ntwk security experience?
I’d say it depends on where you see yourself in 5-10 years. Network security is a very high level certification. When you are going for the cisco cert’s, you’re entering a whole new layer of networking, especially in the security side.
Choose well, because you don’t want to waste your time with cert’s you will never utilize. CISSP and CCNA/P with CCDA/P are a great way to go for Cisco & Network Security.
