Thanks for your reply. I asked above already, could you explain what to study or what certs to get to follow the path of "advisory folks (think PCI, HIPAA)"

  Not the gp, but I also work in security (not in management). "What are the best information security certifications?" @ Quora[1]. The problem is that it's a massive list. Even if you pick a short list / subset of this list, it's far too much work to get started. Honestly, I would join/start a club at your school or in your neighborhood. Find people with similar interests. Work together on a single certification. Start small and target a single subset of "cybersecurity". Honestly, I would start by trimming down the list by filtering out what you aren't close to achieving yet. If a cert requires access to Cisco hardware or assembly language programming skills, there is no point in working on one of those certs first.
