Jiger Jain
Full-Time Student
MEng. in Cybersecurity

I was working as a full-time employee as a Cybersecurity Advisor at Deloitte in India and learned industrial experience from those 2 years out there. Looking ahead at my career I realized it would be great if I could take a break for a couple of years and pursue an academic approach in this field by joining a university which offers cybersecurity as a major course and achieve a formal degree.

Starting my career as a Security Consultant and having worked for 2+ years for a cybersecurity startup, I have lead implementation projects and operations initiatives. Having that said, I cannot undermine the need for more focused education in security and this led me towards graduate school.
