How relevant is it? Just do as Michelle Rowton did and do a search for it on Monster or Dice.. compare those results to other certs that employers are looking for.
I was taking the Security+ to prepare for the CISSP. As I've been studying for the CISSP the Security+ seems to have been a drop in the ocean. While I was able to draw on my years of experience to pass the Security+ (and not study as much) the CISSP is spread so thin over so MANY domains that it requires much more dedication.
Comment from DIGG:
In my opinion the Security+ certification is over-rated and is no more than another logo and a cert on the wall. Several people probably take the test as a stepping stone to the CISSP, or they take it for the simple fact that it?s a cheap certification that they never have to renew.
