CISSP Roadmap
Hello All,
I am brand new to this board and I came here specifically for advice. I've been on the IT helpdesk for 5 years now. It took me this long to realize that I actually want to stay and grow in the industry. I have a meeting with my site lead in about a month to figure out a roadmap to get my CISSP certification. I want to end up in IT Security Mgmt (I don't know what position exactly yet). I'm currently studying for Security+. I have no other certs at the moment and I know that I have a long ride ahead of me.
I'm not asking anyone to layout a roadmap for me but I'm asking for some suggestions for other certs that are beneficial and possibly some suggestions of what security positions I should be looking at after I get my Sec+
I'm kicking myself that I waited this long to start the process. I already have a TS/SCI w/Poly.

With a TS/SCI, I'd recommend that you align your certifications with DoD 8570.1 M. A quick google search should tell you more, or you can take a look at this link -- https://www.isc2.org/uploadedImages/(ISC)2_Public_Content/Community/DoD%20Fact%20Sheet.gif -

Network+ Security+ and A+ all seem to be a pretty common starting combo.
I'm in college and i'm studying for these certs in classes. I'm about to take my network+ exam, and i just passed my NetworkPro exam (http://www.testout.com). After i pass my Net+ exam, i'm going to be studying for the Linux+ exam.
I just joined a few days ago for the exact same reason. so good luck on your journey
