This should help you research tool

 

Newly appointed? What sort of skillset do you have? If you've a good year or so configuring Firewalls, IDSes, Content Filtering, VPNs and Security policy, then you may want to look at the Security+. Its an entry-level cert, but reasonably well-recognised.

Your problem is going to be that Security isn't an industry that you can walk into without experience and do well in. When you say 'IT Security Officer' - I presume there are other people there that you can learn from? Please don't tell me you've just been given possibly one of the most important jobs in your organisation without any prior experience, and no-one else to help you... Actually, scratch that - who do you work for? If its anything to do with any British company's call centre I'd like to know so that i can take my business elsewhere!

 

Zebulubu ,

Thanks for the suggestion .I am Network Administrator & system administrator with more than 11 years of experience in Firewalls , IDS , Windows , Network ( LAN/WAN) .
I am CCNA & MCP certification. I was inquring about some entry level Security Certs which are not that much costly !!

Security plus is i think 225$ .

Since few months i am assigned job of implementing Security in my Site by the company . I am working on Security compliance , Password Policy etc & other aspects of Security. My experience is i think 6 months.

I have lot of interest in this field. So i have the query !!!

 

THANKS VERY MUCH ..FOR NOT A RUDE ANSWER ATLEAST ..PEOPLE ANSWER SO RUDELY AS IF GETTING WE ARE SNATCHING SOME DOLARS OUT OF THE POCKET!!

 

As Ken and Zeb have stated, Security + is a good place to start. I am studying it at the moment, using various books and their accompanying software.

It's a hard slog, but very enjoyable; however, it won't make me a Security + guru. That will hopefully come with experience...
