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.

Why Maryland?
