If you're new to the security arena, you could start with CompTIA's Security+ certification, but before you start with that one, it's wise to get your networking skills up to a Network+ level first.

hey thanks

but u told me to do network + level first ,

what is that any exam for that , if any then tell me , frm where i can get

books on this.

Webmaster

I'm not saying you 'need' Network+, but if you want to go for Security+ it is better to learn some basic network technologies and concepts first, in case you don't have those yet.

I, nor anyone else here, can give you an 'exact career path'. It's up to you to do the proper research and find out what you want to do. One of the things you should do is check in local job ads which skills and certifications are in demand. Although CompTIA certs, such as Network+ and Security+, can provide you with a good foundation, it may not be worth much to an employer in your country/area. As you mentioned in your first post, you are interested in network security, so these two CompTIA certs are good to start with if your new to the topic.

not frm whre i can get material to study

It's all there. Look for exam objectives and recommended study material. For advice from previous and current Network+ and Security+ candidates check out the following forums:
