Remarkable increase in uptake of cybersecurity courses: Pluralsight

This article talks about the following: Cyber Security has become a necessity in today’s world where data is growing at an exponential rate and where the threat to critical data is increasing with new attack routes and malware being release without the knowledge of the user. Considering this, there has been a whopping increase in students undertaking Cyber Security courses. Pluralsight, one of the largest online education sites, has recently launched the Cyber Security course comprising of several topics including Cyber Offense Strategies, Penetration Testing, Ethical Hacking, etc. In fact, many fortune companies have also started taking up these courses.

It will be interesting to see how things unfold in the future. Cyber Security thought has been a growing sector for skill development, but its relative growth compared with careers in Consulting and IT has been poor. It would therefore be interesting to see how many of these students pursue their career in Cyber Security and Ethical Hacking? Will there be rise in demand of such skills, enabling more students to take up online courses?
