Subject: Federally Mandated Certification of cybersecurity professionals?


The Rockefeller-Snowe measure would create the Office of the National Cybersecurity Adviser, whose leader would report 
directly to the president and would coordinate defense efforts across government agencies. It would require the National 
Institute of Standards and Technology to establish "measurable and auditable cybersecurity standards" that would apply to 
private companies as well as the government. It also would require licensing and certification of cybersecurity 
professionals.
