If you are a student of Digital Forensics or want to make a career in Digital Forensic, this post is for you.

Looking to give an edge to your degree or hone your skill-set? We have compiled list of 5 Professional Courses from IIT-K that Will Help You Make A Career in Digital Forensics.

In today’s digital era, one of the biggest threats comes from cyber criminals. Hackers were not taken seriously until a few years back. The rising threat from cyber-attacks has exposed a severe shortage of talent in this sector. As per 2015 figures reported by Nasscom, India needed more than 77,000 white hat hackers as against only a mere 15,000 certified professional ethical hackers in that year.

Digital forensics is a field that is full of potential and money but need expertise and skill. That is the reason you should try doing some courses that will give you an advantage and decent exposure.
