Thanks for your recent e-mail about computer and Web security topics.
One good way to get started will be available later this fall from
CompTIA, in the form of their upcoming Security+ certification. More
information on this topic is available at
http://www.comptia.org/certification/securityplus/index.htm.
For a more Web-centric beginning to your activities, you might
consider pursuing the CIW Security Professional exam. It's more aimed
at securing Web pages and sites, and it is also a good entry-level program
to get you up to speed on security matters. For more information on this
topic, please visit:

Beyond these entry level certifications, you have lots of further
options to pursue. Take a look at my two most recent TechTarget survey
tips on vendor-neutral and vendor-specific security certifications for a great deal more information to ponder and pursue. I especially
recommend the TICSA CISSP, and SANS-GIAC programs, among the many
offerings you will find therein.
Good luck with your further studies.
