Cybersecurity is the technology and process designed to protect networks, devices, programmes and data from attack, damage, or unauthorised access. Cybersecurity is also referred to as "information technology security". It defends the system and servers, mobile devices, networks, and data from malevolent attacks.

As per the January 2019 report of the World Economic Forum, in the United States, there are more than 200,000 Cybersecurity skills requiring job vacancies. The NASSCOM recently estimated that India alone will need 1 million Cybersecurity professionals by 2020 to meet the demands of its rapidly growing economy. The skill gap has now become an ever-growing mountain for its climbers, the recruiters of the Cybersecurity roles. Raising Cybersecurity awareness is one of the main strategies of data protection and reduces the risks of cyber-attacks. Since there is an exponential growth in a cyber-attack, there is a need for an organisation or individuals to equip themselves with
the tools and technologies to prevent these cybercrimes.
