The Computing Technology Industry Association (CTIA) has led a stinging attack on the UK Government's Private Security Issue Bill (PSIB), claiming that it is yet another burden on IT and network professionals. A spokesman for the CTIA said it would mean that security employees will have to obtain a licence from the Government in order to gain employment.

The Bill faces stiff opposition from network professionals mainly because it refers to workers in physical security, but has left the definition open to include electronic security.

The CTIA has sent a letter to government ministers calling for them to enact secondary legislation "explicitly exempting the IT industry from the provisions of the PSIB".
