Hi there,

I am a software developer with around ten years of experience. Recently
I have become very interested in obtaining a career in the computer
security business as a security auditor or security anlyst

I know that there a number of certifications available such as the CISA
and CISSP which give somone the qualifications to get a good job.
However most of these certification require prior experiences in the
security business.

So the question is how does one get started in this field quickly?
because it's seems to me that it's a catch 22 problem , with no
experience noone will give me a job and without a job I will never get
the experience.

I would think that my computer experience , developing some security
releated software and degree in computer science doesnt' make too
impossible for me to get my foot through the door.

If anyone has any suggestion/tips, or personal experiences in regards
to that I would greatly appreciate it if you could share it with me

Thanks,
Rob
