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.
