More on that here: https://www.isc2.org/sscp-professional-experience.aspx It looks like SSCP is like S++ . Have you looked at the objectives? You can download some information here: https://www.isc2.org/cib/default.aspx

There are a lot of options out there but it depends on what is interesting. The GSEC is a great option if you can afford it and it is more recognized then the SSCP. Either one is a DOD 8570 cert though. The next logical step would be either SSCP or GSEC if you want to go the general security route. If you want a more pen testing related test then the CEH would be a good place or e-learn security.

JDMurray wrote: » Make sure you check way the ongoing costs for any certification is. Those of us that have both the CISSP and SSCP pay a total Annual Maintenance Fee (AMF) of $150US each year to maintain these certs. Some people may not want to take on this extra cost just to have an extra cert or two.
