    If you want to give serious advice then things begin with earning a law degree. Without that you will have less power. Even if you ahead running up a cyber crime type of institute you need law degree to take necessary actions. In India LAW degree is considered as very important when it comes to consultation of security. It can be complicated for you to take necessary measure if someone approach you for the right advice.

    There are different type of things in a security firm. It begins with targeting the right kind of customer. One security firm is based on suggestion antivirus or other security software that can help people to make their office more secure. I had seen many firm like that which sell antivirus and many other security applications. That is also a great thing. Here you can consult to big corporates and companies to buy this security programs.

Now cyber crime are different things. Here you are dealing with real hackers and criminal online. That needs some legal degree or else you cannot interfere in any matter. Then there are firm which run security institute to teach students and people about the same.
