Personally, I have been seeing much more of a substantive push in this arena than in times past, owing mostly to the large umbrella of the Department of Homeland Security. As an example here in Texas - municipal, county, and some state offices are requiring network engineers to be licensed SE's (Software Engineers) under the authority of the Texas Board of Professional Engineers. The language I have seen in policies published in the last 2 months requires that anyone programming, configuring, or commissioning routers or other network hardware that contain internal software systems carry that license. ...it seems that other states are preparing to adopt the SE license (likely not until the exam is completed) and I wouldn't be surprised if a "Cybersecurity Coordinator" required such a license Federally. http://www.tbpe.state.tx.us/swe/main.htm http://www.todaysengineer.org/2009/Sep/Software-PE.asp Brandon L.
