Re: threats abound for 2010 what shall we do, oh my!

["Tomas L. Byrnes" <tomb () byrneit net>]

Congress is debating a law that would require licensing of Infosec
professionals:

Except in certain jurisdictions (MI FE) where doing forensics or other
investigations requires a private investigators license:

There is no current requirement, but that is changing.

Regulated by who? And who is "they" who are agreeing on it?

Forget security, is there really ANY info-technology certification that
is a mandated requirement today?

At best, you're going to see a requirement of certification by 2013 or
so. They aren'tgoing to agree on a cert in under a year.  And then you
need a ramp-up time.
