Hows it going?
I would say that ccna is important to show at min. that you know what the hell a network is and how they work, its not really a security cert. I think its an important cert but not to show security awareness, For that part I would recomend looking into the Cissp Cissp THis cert is the defacto right now, [gloworange]( i take this one week from sunday yippy!!!) [/gloworange]
They also provide CONCENTRATION EXAMINATIONS which work hand in hand with the cissp
Basically giving you expertice in either hands on work or being a Info Sec Mgr.

what about Security+ is that worth bothering with?
The security + is an easy easy cert. It gives some insight on some security related issues but honestly i would say that it should be geared towards home users..... I wouldnt have bothered cept i didnt have to pay for it :-D
I have it and its nothing special....
Sans offers some pretty awsome certs also...
