Responsibility of IT Professionals

• Unlike doctors, IT professionals do not have to be licensed
• But that does not mean that we do not have professional responsibilities
• In this course you will learn skills that most people do not have
• This will give you access to information
• And in today's world information is power
• Recent events have shown that abuse of information can sway elections
• Or lead Britain to the economic self-destruction known as Brexit
• People with IT skills steal databases with millions of user records
• Others use various scams to steal identities and commit fraud
• IT people do not have to swear an oath
• Yet some people with IT skills have done more damage that any doctor ever has
