S+ would be valuable for a security role although if you do not have any / much IT experieince than N+ will help with S+ as network security is listed as 20% of the exam objectives.
Do you have any IT experience? Even with security your going to need to probably start at a Level 1 or Level 2 Service desk role.
I started at Level 2 desktop support, got CCENT, then moved to Security after a year with the same company. Just got my S+ to validate my knowledge.Identity & Access Manager // B.A - Marshall University 2005 -

A solid background in one of the three pillars of IT would be the best bet. Without that important background I have to ask why do you want to move into security with no background in security?
