Story: IT security industry 'to be professionalised'

•

It is my opinion that there are too many "professional bodies" carrying on their business. Unless a body actually holds worthwhile recognised examinations and issues qualification certificates then it is no more than a "jobs for the boys" body. And as such it becomes a further uneccessary cash drain upon our society, whether it is through taxation, levy or per capita charge.
The question should be - Will the inception of this body make any difference at the customer level? If not then it is just another self deluding concern.
Surely it is incumbent upon an employer to ensure his IT employees hold suitable qualifiaction for their job and that such qualifications (and refreshers) are "in date" .
