Next Step after MCSE and Security+??

Devilsbane

I'm working on finishing the MCSE right now, and then I'm going to upgrade it to MCSE:S via the 70-299 (and because I already have Security+ down).

I would like to get into the security world, but don't really know where to start. I have heard good things about the CISA and CISM, but they both have work experience requirements that I don't have yet.

There is also the SSCP, but I don't know that I can get past the 1 year requirement for that either unless I can get them to agree that resetting and managing passwords falls under the Access Controls domain.

Then there is the CEH, which I think I could probably do. But like the SSCP it comes with a heafty recertification plan that I don't know if I'm ready to take on yet. (Right now I would like to gain more experience and more certifications without worrying about relearning things).

I've heard some good things about the GSEC, but don't know much about them.

My other concern is that I'm not sure how these tests are given. Are they similar to a Microsoft test where I can register with Prometric and can go take them virtually anywhere?
