Ronald Sanders is a former human capital officer at the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Sanders is member of a National Academy of Sciences panel exploring the ramifications of professionalizing IT security practitioners.

The profession is changing from computer network defense – building the electronic bunkers – to something more.”]
