you need at least one year assume you spend all of your time on study.
I just passed my checkpoint test-CCSE and started to find job, until now I have no result. In addition I have experience and certificates of CCNP, MCSE, MCDBA even MCSD.
Without Cisco, Microsoft and Solaris knowledge and certificates, It is impossible to learn network security.
Remember, network security engineer is fight against haker. if there are people understand computer and network deeply than a haker? It is the top of IT field.
So....
Good luck!
