Where Is The Course To Become A Hacker In Nepal Now cyber security is being discussed all over the world. Because when we are spending time online, we are leaving many footprints there. Which is constantly increasing. However, on the other hand, individuals and groups are also attacking. Which we understand as a cyber attack. To avoid this, there is an increasing demand for manpower who have knowledge about cyber security.
Various educational programs are also in operation to produce such manpower. Because of this, such programs can be a good option for students who are looking to study IT subjects at the undergraduate level.
The local universities of Nepal have not conducted any specialized programs in cyber security. Private colleges are conducting cyber security programs with affiliations from foreign universities.
