Deep dives
Lack of Unified Licensing in Cybersecurity
The absence of a unified licensing system in cybersecurity creates significant challenges for the industry. Unlike professions such as law or medicine, which require standardized licenses and practices, cybersecurity lacks a coherent framework that governs practitioners. This absence contributes to discrepancies in skill levels and practices among cybersecurity professionals, which poses risks to organizations. Establishing a uniform licensing process could not only enhance accountability but also help cultivate a unified voice for professionals in the field.
