Why does cybersecurity still struggle with professionalization?
Briefly

The evolution of professionalization in cybersecurity is critical given the risks associated with cyber threats. While IT has established chartered statuses like CITP, cybersecurity still faces challenges due to fragmentation and varied certification pathways. Organizations such as ISACA, ISC2, and CIISec are leading the efforts to develop significant professional qualifications. This transformation underscores the importance of ensuring qualified professionals secure systems effectively, similar to established practices in other professions, which is vital for mitigating high-stakes cyber risks.
