Ethical Hacking

Digital Marketing is super in-demand and constantly changing these days. As brands move their focus online, there's a big need for talented marketers who know their stuff—both in strategy and tools. When picking a course, what really counts is getting hands-on experience—working on real projects, running campaigns, and having mentorship that boosts your confidence and helps you create a standout portfolio.

From what I've seen, IIM SKILLS has an amazing Digital Marketing Master Course with a solid curriculum, live sessions led by experts, and great placement support. A buddy of mine just finished their programme and had great things to say about the real-time ad campaigns and the 2-month paid internship that gave him valuable, resume-worthy experience. He really credited that experience for landing his first marketing job right after finishing the course.

Ethical hacking mainly works on the offensive side and teaches about how to hack into systems legally to test vulnerabilities. Ethical hacking is best for students who already know the basics of Networking, Linux, and Coding. Ethical hacking courses are usually certification-oriented. The career scopes of Ethical Hacking include Penetration Tester, Bug Bounty Hunter, and Security Analyst.

Now, when it comes to Cyber Security, it broadly focuses on the defensive side, including concepts like firewalls, cryptography, incident response, and offensive aspects. It is best for the students who have little to no background. Cyber Security can also be pursued as a degree (BSc/ BTech) or certification. A cybersecurity Career path includes Security Engineer, SOC Analyst, Risk Manager, and Security Consultant.

If you're just starting, a Cyber Security course is the safer option because it gives you the foundation (networking, security basics, defense strategies). Once you're comfortable, you can specialize in Ethical Hacking as a subfield.
