There are a lot of different roles within Info Sec. Go to https://www.cybrary.it/ and watch some videos to see if it is something that really interests you.

Security+ - Intro to Info Sec
HIPAA - Healthcare related but all companies have to deal with it.
CISA - auditing
CISM - management
CISSP - management
CASP - advanced general, technical

and more.

Your advice is awesome, I read your info on the other technical forum for certification exams.... been lurking here and there for a while.
With the exception of Security+, I think all of them require prerequisites for those Certifications. But yes OP, get your feet wet!
Anyways, to add to this OP, since you want to start investigating into IT Security, why not take the free CyberSecurity courses from TEEX.
There are 3, for Everyone, IT Pros and Business Pros. Even though you don't need credit for them, it's free and gives you some insight.
