Not only in India but in other countries as well, the demands for cyber experts are on a rise. According to 'Cybersecurity Ventures', there will be 3.5 million cybersecurity jobs opening by 2021. The market values will cross $6 trillion by 2021. 

Cybersecurity expert: Minimum qualification

Manish Kumawat, Director at Cryptus Cyber Security Pvt Ltd, says there is no pre-requirement to become a Cyber Security Professional. However, you must have a deep understanding of computers, the internet, computer networks, operating systems besides a love for coding. You can also go for courses like these mentioned below:

"After completing these courses, a person can enter in this fast-growing industry to get their dream jobs. And also in government sectors, we see more opportunities like going in Intelligence Bureau (IB), CBI, RAW, Police Department, Cyber Lawyers, etc. One can have good jobs opportunities in sectors like banking and finance, medical, private business among others," said Kumawat. 

The National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM) recently estimated that India alone will require1 million cybersecurity professionals by 2020 to meet the demands of its rapidly growing economy. Domestic IT giants like Infosys and even global players like CISCO have been betting big in the cyber security domain.

"The growth in cloud-based security solutions and tools, and increase in adoption of big data analytics to gather cyber threats data among other trends are creating huge opportunities in the area of cybersecurity," said Kumawat.
