Security Certifications: CISSP, SANS GSEC and more
The two most important security certifications are CISSP (Certified Information System Security Professional) and SANS GSEC (Global Information Assurance Certification Security Essentials Certification). The rest aren't significant in comparison, although I’ll briefly comment on a couple others.
With certifications, there are two things to consider: the value of the certification, and the value of the knowledge. Presumably you need to learn or at least review something to pass the certification test/requirements. That’s certainly true for CISSP and GSEC. Security is a broad enough area that almost no one can just waltz in and pass the tests for either of these.
CISSP is THE best known security certification. SANS GSEC is second, although rapidly increasing in prominence. CISSP has been around roughly twice as long GSEC, which accounts for at least some of its preeminence. They are both excellent programs with significant overlap as well as some significant differences.
