Hello Annu,

digital forensics is a strong career choice with growing scope in cybersecurity, law enforcement and corporate investigations. since you're already studying forensic science and starting cyber forensics, you're on the right track to build skills in networking, ethical hacking, and digital tools. consider certifications like CEH or CHFI, and pursue MsC digital forensics for deeper specialization and better placements.
