Should Cybersecurity Be a Licensed Profession?
Attention passengers: what if your airplane’s robot assistant was hit with ransomware—would anyone on board know how to help? In this week’s video, Ron Gula of Gula Tech Adventures explores the urgent question of professionalizing cybersecurity as a true “Data Care” industry.
Just like doctors, lawyers, and accountants, cyber professionals deserve recognition as specialists who protect critical systems, safeguard data, and keep society running. Ron breaks down why the public still doesn’t view cybersecurity experts with the same professional respect, how specialization (red teams, compliance, patch management, incident response, etc.) mirrors healthcare roles, and why the term “Data Care” could transform how we recruit, certify, and value cyber talent.
If you care about the future of cybersecurity, workforce development, and creating a respected profession for the next generation of defenders, this video is for you.
