The Cybersecurity profession is one where demand is outstripping supply. Based on the

technological advancements and ever- increasing threat landscape there will continue to

be an increasing need for skilled professionals into the foreseeable future.

As country is charting the journey of

digitization to take the digital economy

to USD 1 trillion, the field cyber

security would create significant

professional opportunities.

billion by 2025, as per Nasscom

McKinsey perspective 2025.

Cyber Security Task Force(CSTF) report

of NASSCOM and DSCI targets to take

the cyber security industry to USD 35

billion by taking the security skilled
