Hello all. I'm trying to get into the IA arena after I complete my Sec+. I have minimal IA experience and would like to know what you guys think is my best bet for an IA cert. I'd like to either get the SSCP from ISC2 or CISA from ISACA. Looking at IA job descriptions on Department of Defense (DOD) and non-DOD websites, they want either CISSP or CISA. I don't have the experience for CISSP for sure.
I used to be U.S. Army Artillery for 5 years, DOD physical security for 1 year, and I do Retina scans and WSUS patching on a DOD information system daily and for 4 years total. Do you guys think this is enough experience to meet the CISA or SSCP requirements? I don't know what else they could want. I haven't applied at all, I hate being denied. I mentioned the physical security because I've been told I can use 1 year of that towards experience.
CISSPs out there have any help?
