Webinar on A Career in Cyber Security

Cyber security professionals are wanted in every organization because of their importance in data security. The demand for cyber security professionals is very high, and India provides a broader opportunity compared to other Asia-Pacific countries. The cyber security market of Asia Pacific is expected to register a growth of 18.3% CAGR in the 2020-2025 period, but there is a talent shortage in the field. Some of the most in-demand skills in the region are- Threat Intelligence, Application Development Security, Cloud Security Risk Management, and Data Privacy and Security. The availability of skilled professionals who can tackle the cyber security issue is significantly less in India, thus opening many new doors for young Indians for a cyber security career.

Cyber security roles are in huge demand with 3.1 million unfilled job vacancies worldwide. With an average pay higher than other IT positions, this is the right time to make a switch to cyber security careers. Some of the most important technical skills for cyber security careers are- knowledge of programming languages (Java, Python, C++), familiarity with operating systems (Linux, Windows, macOS), network configuration and management, project management, data management, analytics, disaster recovery, risk assessment, intrusion detection, information systems, access control, security program development, audits and compliance, cloud security implementation and management, digital forensics, and automation implementation.
