Hi Guys,  I will be receiving my BS in Information Security and Assurance within the next year or year and a half.  I was wondering what Certs should I get to compliment my degree.  I was thinking about A+ or LPI just in case I cant find a job in my field.  I just feel as though A+ would be a waste.  Do you guys any non security certs to compliment my degree?

The Security+ is the typical starting point as that provides a broad overview of many different aspects of infosec. Also, if you're considering any of the CompTIA (A+, Network+, Security+, etc.), you should do them this year while you still get them for life. After this year, they're going to be expiring every few years.

There really is a difference b/w Computer Security and Information Security isnt it ?

It really depends on who you want to work for and the type of positions you want to try to fill.  I'm in your same boat in finishing my BSCS then getting the certs. I've knocked a few of them down thanks to my employer.

If you are looking to fill more of a management security role, I'd go the Associate of ISC2 CISSP track (take the regular CISSP test) as this upgrades when you get the experience. I know a lot of employers who look highly upon this because you pass the regular CISSP test.

The microsoft certs are good if you want to work in a microsoft environment.

If you want to go more network centric, you might look at Cisco CCNP/CCIE security.

If you want to go incident response, go for the SANS certs (GCIA, GCIH). If its for the US government get CEH as this meets a lot of DoD 8570 requirements.

If you want to go the technical route, look at the Offensive Security certs (OSCP, OSCE)
