According to a survey done by IDC (International Data Corp), the worldwide demand for IS Services was approximately $ 8 billion in 2001, estimated at $ 23.6 billion by 2006. Correspondingly, there is a growing demand for Information Security (IS) professionals- -this research pegs the current demand for IS professionals at over 60,000 worldwide. This is estimated to grow to over 1,88,000 worldwide by 2008. Hence, there is a need for systematic education in Cyber Security.
As you are aware today our dependency on the internet and computer has increased and with it the vulnerability to the computer system and Internet but the awareness regarding this in India is still far behind than that in the western world. Off late we have witnessed a tremendous rise in cyber crimes and with it the increase in threat to our Information Security industry more than ever before. Furthermore, practically every crime now involves electronic evidence and law enforcement personnel need the expertise to deal with these cases. Hence there is an increasing demand for highly skilled computer security experts who can safeguard the Internet. This is where courses like these are going to become groundbreaking.
IMT-Centre for Distance Education is recognized by Distance Education Council and the Diplomas awarded by IMT-Centre for Distance Education would be recognized by Distance Education Council, Govt. of India.
Happy Hacking and I look forward to meeting you at IMT soon!
Warm Regards
