As India rapidly progresses towards becoming one of the world’s largest digital economies, Indian companies are facing a major shortage of cybersecurity experts. In the first half of 2017, India saw at least one cybercrime every 10 minutes, which led companies to beef up their cybersecurity teams. However, according to a recent report from Quartz, companies are struggling to find cybersecurity experts due to a massive shortage of talent and experience.
Experts suggest that by 2025, the cybersecurity space will generate around a million jobs in India, however, a majority of those will be taken up by expats as India doesn’t have the talent required to fulfill the requirements. Even though crybercrimes are becoming more complex by the day, the available cybersecurity professionals in the country just have the basic training and certifications which isn’t enough to deal with cybercrimes.
