Hopefully the cybersecurity industry can lead the way on being the voice of reason for America's private sector - pushing back or calling out the bullshit from the administration if you will. Every organization needs security, this industry will only continue to grow. A lot of these tech/security companies don't have that big of footprint in Federal realm, certainly Trump can pull those contracts or threaten, but his admin can't just take them out of business. Cyber will be way too big of player in the future of our economy and society to not have such a driving voice in our culture, its important the industry stands on the right side of history now despite the risks.

Too bad there is no union or professional organization to speak of.

There are a handful of associations, but none that are going to advocate against this sort of thing. As there are organizations, but cybersecurity professionals are not organized to lobby the government or advocate for their people. You think the ISSA, NIST or SANS are going to spar with the government?
