Path to Security Architect
Hi everyone, I’ve been in IT for over 20 years in a variety of infrastructure roles (help desk, server,network, security). My currently role is network & security manager, but the security side is mostly network related. I don’t see my current role as long term, as it’s not a fit for my interests. From a networking… -
Re: Path to Security Architect
I am in a similar boat and am off-and-on pursuing Security Architect roles casually. I've done security and IT work for 17+ years now, mostly around systems/servers, developer support, and security. Being in Security Architecture is a wholistic area. You need to be familiar (and comfortable diving deep on no notice) with… -

I have also looked at 530/545 but unfortunately, would need to be self funded, so I decided to hold off. They both look great For those currently in security architecture roles or pursuing them, are you working for (or plan to work for) resellers/vars or for enterprise? I think I will be adding CCSP to my cert plan, as… -
Re: Path to Security Architect
CISSP-ISSAP is a solid option. If you're not currently implementing cloud solutions, you could do some of the specialty cloud security certifications to round yourself out and open up opportunities. I'm a few steps behind you on the same path. Most of the value of security architecture is from hands on experience with a… -
Re: Path to Security Architect
Talking with more than a few InfoSec managers and their future plans tells me that networking and security will simply merge while design and planning will move to a more security orientated posture. This is all well and fine while we have long term infrastructure people with hard skills in the area available but it takes… -

Re: Path to Security Architect
I'm heading in the same direction as OP with the twist that I want to have more of a business architect role with a strong focus on cloud security. From experience, I'm seeing that the biggest thing missing right now is Architects that can talk business. Lots of companies are making some cringe worthy decisions and that is… -
Re: Path to Security Architect
That's pretty ambitious talking in terms of decades when it comes to technology. :) I mean, 10 years ago people were still catching up on virtualization, let alone thinking ahead to devops and cloud too far. We were only just going through our first major rounds of a huge OS retirement (XP) and dealing with other… -
Re: Path to Security Architect
I reckon go for the AWS/Azure certs first as you will enjoy them. Very interesting and practical. After you have developed a decent understanding of the concepts do CCSP - which is more theory (think abstraction and pooling of resources at hardware layer). I did AWS CSA then Security engineering on AWS before doing… -
Re: Path to Security Architect
@Pmorgan2 I really think that YMMV depending on what type of organization you work for or your future employer. I have found that my credentials give me a better chance in an Enterprise / Security Architecture role because those certifications help my employer with a higher support level which gives quicker response times.…
