As a tech enthusiast, what do you think are the biggest threats that individuals and nations face in the current times? This question was pondered over by our team at Entri, and the resulting answer was digital threats. The rising amount of digital threats requires cybersecurity to not be an option, but a necessity. In the wake of this revelation, Entri has geared up to launch its AI-Powered Cybersecurity course in a hybrid mode!

Introduction: Why Cybersecurity? Why Now?
The rise of globalisation has led to a globally connected world in several industries. But, along with this massive leap, the other side of the coin showcases a rise in global vulnerability. On one side, we have a global surge in the usage of cloud computing, digital payments, AI applications, and remote work. On the other hand, the volume and sophistication of cyberattacks have skyrocketed. With cybercrime costs projected to be around $10.5 trillion by 2025, the necessity is real.
Another reality is the fact that there is a major talent gap in this sector. Organisations, including banking, healthcare, startups, and government agencies, are actively hiring cybersecurity professionals to secure their data. However, the demand is never met as it exceeds the supply by far.
To bridge this gap or demand, Entri has introduced its new AI-powered cybersecurity course. Whether you are a fresher, looking for a career that is secure, or a working professional, looking for a career switch, this course is for you. And, with AI transforming the cyber world, securing it with AI tools is an essential skill in the current job market.
