It depends on where your skill level is. The GSEC certification is more of
a cert that says you have a basic knowledge of security issues. The CISSP
is an advanced certfication that says you have an "advanced" knowledge of
security issues. A GSEC would be a good certification if you are just
starting out in the security field whereas a CISSP would be something you
get after a few years.

There are other certifications from SANS GIAC and they are focused on more
technical areas such as firewalls, intrusion detection, OS security, etc.
These would be better certifications to get if you are a technical type.

Just my $.02
