Best place to start is probably with the Security+. It will give you the foundation you need to get in to the more in depth areas of security. Here is the link to it: http://www.comptia.org/certifications/listed/security.aspx

If you take this and pass before the end of this year it will be considered a lifetime cert that you won't need to renew. After that it will need to be renewed every 3 years if you want to claim the credential down the road. After security+ there is a long list of certs you could take. It really depends on your areas of interest.

For pentesting there are: CEH, eCPPT, GPEN, OSCP, and heorot.net certs and courses. (not all inclusive)

For a more broad range of security there is: SSCP, GSEC, SCNP, CISSP, and many more.

For OS Specific there is: MCSE:S, GCWN, GCUX, and many more.

For network specific there is: CCNA: sec, CCSP, JNCIS-SEC, GCFW, GCIA, CTP, and more

For web app sec there is: GWAPT, and more I am sure.

For forensic there is: CHFI, GCFA, and more.

For management/auditing there is: CISSP, CISA, CISM, and more

So like I said depends on what peaks your interest. Some of the certs require experience to become fully certified and certain criteria needs to be met. I would do some research in what area of security interests you most but would recommend starting with the Security+ first to get a foundation and go from there. If the Security+ sounds good to you then check out this book: http://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-Security-Certified-Ahead-SY0-201/dp/1439236364/ref=sr_1_1?s=gateway&ie=UTF8&qid=1285625425&sr=8-1

This was an excellent study guide for me to pass.

Hope this is helpful.

Maybe if you tell us what kind of IT experience, you said that you are new but we do not know if you are new in IT or security

I begin with Security+ and CCNA:S, both certification gives you a good fundation plus linux that you want to deep (that is my week part)

Ok so Security+ will be, thank you all for the help
