Cyber security will have a good and real future with more of digital and distributed networks that we see today and that is going to be the new norm also in the coming years so which means there are more reasons as to why we need people who are specialist in cyber security but my suggestion is that if you go to the typical engineering institute, in most of the engineering schools cybersecurity is only an add on course which students can opt in the third or the fourth year. It is always good to take additional courses which many private institutions offer on cybersecurity especially the international certifications and along with that a little bit of understanding the legal aspects and you can be the best in cyber security.
