Both are good career options. It totally depends on you which one you like to learn. Both are future skills and they are expected to be among the top skills that would be required in future jobs.

As more information are moving in digital, people & Companies equally need Data Science to manage it and Cyber Security to make sure it is safe.

If you are more inclined toward Python then you should  go for Data Science or if you are good at Networking and Encryption thing, you can choose Cyber Security.

Thanks!!!

Dear Student,

Both are booming courses nowadays. It totally depends on your interest and passion. If you like to play around with data, store it, manipulate it, then go for data science. And if you interest with softwares, bugs and security related technologies then go for cyber security.

But if you have interest in both and you are confused between the two. I would suggest you to try both the fields for now. After a week, analyze what suits you better. If you still have confusions, try for a month and surely you will get your result.

Cyber security is about superior managing the knowledge around exploitable vulnerabilities in information systems than adversaries do. Data science will help produce that knowledge on both sides of the fence, unless the subject moves into the knowledge management domain itself.

Cybersecurity can be more demanding than data science because jobs in the future will be more for cybersecurity skilled persons as people knowing this skills are very few.

But, at the same time, data science jobs are also arising. Go as per your interest.

Happy Learning!
