Hi, I did my BE in IT. Want to do M.Tech now. I heard of Cyber Security courses offered in various colleges. The fact that it is interesting, I want to pursue this course. However, I don't know what aptitude and technical qualities an aspirant should have for this course. Could anyone guide me for this so I may get prepared accordingly?
