Security clearances and jobs

Many government and defence cyber security jobs in Australia need a security clearance, which is generally limited to citizens. Indian graduates usually start in private-sector security operations, consulting, banking and technology firms. A course with hands-on labs, industry certifications built in and a capstone project helps more than the name of the degree.
