The COVID-19 outbreak has changed the cyber security threat landscape. There has been a surge in Work from Home, triggered by this pandemic. Our home networks are far more vulnerable than enterprise networks. As usual, cybercriminals are bound to exploit it. Since the beginning of the crisis, nearly 2000 malicious coronavirus-themed websites have been set up every day.
The writing on the wall is clear. Even after the crisis, companies who have discovered value in the gig economy will continue to operate a significant part of their workforce from home. Hence the need for cyber security expertise becomes apparent.
As cyber threats become more complex, cybersecurity is a top priority for organizations worldwide. With global damages projected to reach $10.5 trillion by 2025, the demand for skilled cybersecurity professionals is at an all-time high.
Cybersecurity is among the most in-demand skills today, with around 3.5 million unfilled jobs globally. In India alone, over 100,000 job openings in this field highlight the urgent need for expertise. Companies seek professionals to create secure digital environments, making this a promising career path.
The Advanced Certification Program in Cyber Security and Cyber Defense, by IIT Kanpur and TalentSprint, offers cutting-edge skills for today’s professionals. Its comprehensive curriculum covers advanced concepts and practical applications, preparing you for diverse roles in this growing field.
