I am A+ and NET+ certified with 7 years of IT experience, as technical support and systems implementations. I've been working for 2 years as Information Security Administrator. I really like this field and would like some tips about which Security certification should I take first.
I am also thinking about apply for MS Information Security and Assurance on WGU since I have Bachelor on IT.
Thanks

Agree. Security + will help you build a solid foundation. After that maybe you can move on to SSCP or CISSP. -

I agree Security+ is the best way to begin. After that, I would look to get certification in the technology you are in charge of securing. If you work on Windows servers, MCITP:SA. From there begin reading security guides for said product and best practices. Good luck!WIP:
