Start with CISSP certification - that shouldn't be too hard for you. Visit
www.cissp.com for the beginning, www.isc2.org, www.isaca.org.
Take a look - maybe you decide to run into consultations.
The more you invest into education, the better your security future is. Only
those seminars and everything connected to security education is quite
expensive. But worth it.
And connect with other people of your kind - one true experience is worth
much more than dozen of seminars.

Best,
