Dear Infosec Gurus,
I have got 8 years of experience in software testing and currently working as a Test Lead. I am thinking of gaining certifications in information security. Please suggest me which certification I can go for. Currently I do not have any certification in Information Security. The only certification I have is ISTQB foundation level for software testing.
Expecting your valuable feedback/suggestions
Many Thanks
Chandra

What are your goals for getting a certification? What are your interests within the InfoSec field? Do you want to continue software testing career with a focus on security aspects?“You don’t become great by trying to be great. You become great by wanting to do something, and then doing it so hard that you become great in the process.” (c) xkcd #896

Hello and welcome to TE.
As @chooselife asked - what exactly in infosec are you interested in?
With a software testing background, one option may be secure SDLC if you enjoy working on lifecycle aspects of software development. A second option may be application vulnerability and penetration testing.
Some certs which are related include:

Many Thanks ChooseLife & paul78 for your reply...
I was thinking of moving as a security analyst (if possible) or a information security tester...Please note that I do not have a penetration testing experience... Hence please advice which would be the best option...
Kind Regards,
Chandra
