A few years ago I was in the same predicament deciding on what security cert to
go for. I decided on the SSCP (took me two tries).
I look back now and wonder if I really should've gone for the CISSP to begin
with. It seems to me the SSCP is nowhere near the CISSP in demand and how it
is marketed. I had to explain to most employers and head hunters what the SSCP
stands for.
But, the SSCP does provide a foundation of knowledge which should only help
when preparing for the CISSP when you feel ready and have some experience under
your belt.
Hope it helps.

Subject: [CISSP-D] newbie in security
Hello,
My background is telecom equipment testing and development.
I am now involved in security auditing on telecom
equipment, utilizing various requirements documents such
as Telcordia GR-815. I have been doing this for about
5 months now.
I know the recommendations for getting the CISSP is that
one should have 3 yrs security experience. I've got a
few to go.
Would you recommend studying and obtaining the SSCP cert
in the mean time? How about other security related certs?
Thanks,
Ray
