RE: Security Certifications. Help needed

I highly recommend getting some *NIX training in the mix. A true security professional needs all aspects of the job. You have the Windows part and will be getting some networking with the CCNA, but you do need that other side of the job. Think about some of the SANS training, primarily I would suggest Track 1 first then Track 6 to get more specific with Unix.

Just my two cents worth.
