What would be beneficial

All recently passed the CISSP and now want to dig deeper than the "one inch deep mile wide" cert. Any ideas on which certs or training would be a great complement. Currently i work for the government but do not wish to become pigeon holed in infosec. Thanks in advance and hope all had a great turkey day.

    Not sure exactly what you mean - you want to dig deeper, but not be pidgeonholed? That sounds contradictory to me. Regardless, where you go from here depends on what interests you more than anything else - you can go the more technical route, or managerial route.

    What i mean is i do not wish to become just a paper CISSP. I understand Security from a managerial point of view but wanted a broader understanding of the tech side.

    Sounds to me like you did it a little backwards then. CISSP is often viewed as a graduated level, where you master one area then move into infosec. What are your interests in IT? Whatever interests you the most dictates what path you should progress on. Or what certs does the position you want call for since you work for the gov?

    I serve as the security manager for an organization. I deal mainly with physical security but want to be we'll rounded.

    PSP then? Depends on what you're being exposed to as security professional. If your auditing logs or controls then I might look into ISACA's CISA or similar and work from there. There is a big difference in PS than say working a SIEM log or SDLC practices. Start with what your currently exposed to and work your way out in a spiral.
