Many a times students ask me, "what should I do to enter into Information Security/ Information Systems Audits and related field". I used to suggest them trainings and certifications like CEH, ISO 27001LA/LI, CISA etc. I personally have high regards for Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) which is ISACA's most recognized certification in the world.
CISA is indeed the best certification but when it comes college students or recent graduates they find it difficult to prepare for CISA. As CISA not only tests your theoretical understanding but emphasis a lot on practical experience.
