What's the best security certification to have on a resume?
The top two security certifications to earn are the CompTIA Security + certification or maybe the Cisco CCSP certification. The CompTIA one is perhaps the easiest one to get, since you don't need to be familiar with the particulars of specific pieces of Cisco gear.

Doesn't the CCSP also require that you earn your CCNA? So it's kind of like a two-fer.
