Cybersecurity is a rapidly growing field with a global shortage of 3-4 million cybersecurity professionals. According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), the rate of growth for jobs in information security is projected at 29% by 2025—that’s much faster than the average for all other occupations.
Pakistan can take a big share of this opportunity through training its graduates and professionals in tools and technologies related to cybersecurity. One of the techniques is to train the professionals by providing a competitive environment where professionals can learn, test and compete in the areas of cybersecurity.
