    What are the Certs out there in Security
    I already have Security + which is a very much an entry level cert

    CISSP might be a bit of a step too far but id would be interested in something a bit hands on like the ethcial hacking cert/course being offered.
    How about SSCP?


    Any ideas?

    You need to decide what areas you are interested in. The SSCP/CISSP are high level design/management InfoSec courses, for implementation though you need to go vendor specific like the MCSE Security or CCSP/CCIE Security tracks., for Pen testing the CEH and similar are the obvious choice but you should only go for these after you have a solid foundation in vendor specifics. InfoSec in general should only really be approached this way, you need a very solid foundation in the devices/operating systems you will be protecting before you can learn the actual defenses.
