Cyber Crime is the fastest growing threat to people & businesses globally. As the number of data networks, digital applications, as well as internet and mobile users are growing, so do the chances of cyber exploitation and cyber crimes. Even a small mistake in securing data or bad social networking can prove to be extremely dangerous. If accounts are not properly secured, it makes easier for hackers or unauthorized users to spread viruses or social engineered attacks that are designed to steal data and even money. Such types of issues highlight the need for cyber security as an essential approach in protecting and preventing data from being used inappropriately.

With new threats emerging every day, a continuous response to protect and preserve our nation’s digital structure is a need that cannot be ignored. As the internet is ever-evolving and the number of threats and threat actors increases, the demand for trained professionals is on the rise.
