The question of some form of professionalization has long been a topic of conversation (third rail?) in security. This workshop will introduce various different models of professionalization from professions outside of security, identifying each model’s key features and limitations. It will also explain the relationship that the law creates among self-imposed ethical codes, licensing, and malpractice liability across various professions.
