India is in dire need of cybersecurity professionals. With several recent incidents of data breach, India's cybersecurity journey so far proves this demand. But is the country ready to meet this demand and is it preparing a cybersecurity workforce for the unforeseen cyber future?

However, around 3.5 million jobs in the cybersecurity space will remain unfilled by the end of 2021.
