<p>IT Security can also be enhanced if we promote the idea of IT experts operating in a legal and regulatory environment. An IT Practioners Management Act would go a long way in ensuring acceptable qualifications, licensing, disciplining, continuous professional development (including periodic training in security). When a doctor is to operate on me I expect him to be licenced; I should have the same expectation of an "IT expert" who wants to operate on my company systems/data.</p><p>Waudo</p><pre>On Tue, 29 Apr 2008 03:44:57 -0700 (PDT), "Rebecca Wanjiku" <rebeccawanjiku@yahoo.com> said:
