The Chartered Institute of Information Security (formerly the IISP) has recently been awarded Royal Charter status. This is a significant step in the development of the organisation and for the profession. The organisation will need to adapt to the new status, additional obligations and a change the expectations. More importantly though, we as a community need think about how we want to develop this now recognised but still very young profession. Initiatives across the community such as the development of a Cyber Council reflect that we need to develop more professional structures and pathways expected of a profession and to gain the recognition for the importance of the work that we do. We are at a catalytic moment and have a unique opportunity as professionals to shape our future. Amanda will share the work that has got us to this crucial point and pose some thought provoking ideas and encourage discussion on how we should be taking the profession forward.
