Cyber security incorporates the security standards and procedures followed to ensure protection of sensitive data, personal information, Intellectual Property etc. However achieving cyber security is still a distant dream due to following issues:
Lack of Skilled Workforce: At present, India has a massive skill shortage in the cybersecurity industry. Moreover, the constant integration of embryonic technologies (including cloud computing, IoT, and so on) in wide-ranging processes is gradually leaving the conventional cybersecurity skills redundant.
According to IBM, the current requirement of cybersecurity professionals is pegged at 3 million, whereas, the cybersecurity workforce is less than 0.1 million in India.
