Information Security Certification ??
Hi All
I am not sure this is the right place to ask this question.
I am from India ( Mumbai ) .I am in IT industry ( as Application developer / System support ) for nearly 4 years i dont have any direct security related work experience but i did work on cryptography & Access control in 2 of my projects for around year. I work on Unix / Shell scripting / Perl Scripting. I want to do a certification in Information security , i came across ISC2.org where i asked them whether i am eligible for the (SSCP) exam but got no response. i also searched for security related forums but i cant seem to find any.
So guys please guide me on how to go about this ? which are the good organizations who offer certification in security which is know in international market. Looking forward to your replies.
P.S : Mods please move the thread to appropriate area if this is not the right place
