Why build expertise in Cyber Security? Why now? -

Though the pandemic accelerated technological adoption, it also exposed cyber vulnerabilities and unpreparedness of the industry.
Looking at the year ahead, cyber security has become a top priority for organizations irrespective of the sector. In 2021 alone, there will be a ransomware attack on businesses every 11 seconds according to CyberCrime Magazine.
The industry today needs professionals with capabilities to secure networks, protect systems and brand reputation from cyberattacks.
However, the shortage of cyber security talent is a challenge that must be met. By the end of 2021, it’s estimated that 3.5 million jobs in cyber security will be unfilled due to this talent gap and market need (Economic Times). As per the Data Security Council of India, the number of cyber security companies in India has also grown in the last two years.
This is the right time for aspirants to invest in building expertise and tap into these promising opportunities that the sector offers.
