What about vendor specific Security certifications like Checkpoints CCSA/CCSE ? From the trend I see among firms hiring Security professionals here in the UK, they are much less concerned with general network/security certifications like the CISSP, and would rather prefer someone certified by the same organization supplying their solutions. In the end, that is what these large firms are probably aiming at doing - convincing their clients that the best person to hire to maintain/configure their products is someone certified by them.

If I had to get another certification, it would most definitely be something along the lines of the CCSE. More bang for your buck at the end of it.

Just my 2 cents.
