Network Security
Dubai will be hosting the top IT brains of India from August 21-25. The occasion is the Technology Senate where the who’s who of the Indian IT arena will be conglomerating to discuss and debate on hot IT issues.
While talking about Tech Senate that largely caters to the CIOs of India, I am not sure how many of us have observed the silent drift the CIOs have made – from their limited role as the technology leaders a few years back to taking on the role of business leaders. They are no longer just the technology experts, but they are in the forefront of the organizational hierarchy, applying IT to accelerate and support the organization’s goals and roadmap. Dittoing these thoughts will be a presentation on ‘Shifting Role of the CIO – Technology to Business Leader in a Security Context’ by Mr. Digvijay Sinh Chudasma, VP-Sales, Cyberoam, at Tech Senate.
These thoughts have found echo in many international magazines as well. A point in case is the recent survey on Indian CIOs – Tomorrow’s CIOs – by one of the international IT magazines. The results reflected that most of these CIOs report directly to the CEOs or owners of their firms. These CIOs are more focused on business strategies and business decision-making, leaving IT infrastructure and application management to other senior members of their team.
Unlike their US counterparts, the role of Indian CIOs involves greater contribution to company innovation and growth, managing outsourced relationships, managing customers and the like. For them, attributes like leadership, execution, communication, vision and innovation define the role of a CIO better.
The way I see this role transformation of the Indian CIOs is that not only has the role of a CIO broadened but the importance of IT and its footprint in organizations has also grown manifolds today.

It's totally obvious when a "consultant " walks in and has no real experience in their field, and I personally won't hire a consultant that doesn't have a reference list of similar projects completed.
You really need some real-world experience first: get a job in the IT field, after five years you could probably wrangle your way into network security, get at least five years in network security, and then you'll be in a viable position to try this.
As an aside: if you're thinking about consulting but don't know if what you want to do is possible, how to do it, if you have a market, or who that market is… that should tell you something important.

It isn't a bad career. However The two classes you listed are not enough really. In addition, I'd take computer security classes and consider Novel, Microsoft and Cisco certification as well. Ideally, you should have a college degree in computer security.

Probably the most widely-recognised security-related courses are given by the SANS institute (http://www.sans.org/). They are not for beginners, though: you'll need a solid grounding in network and operating system configuration and deployment.
Be prepared for disappointment if you try to get a job armed solely with qualifications. Experience is everything in this industry.
