Let’s start talking about salaries in the cyber security industry today.
First look at the picture,
Everyone has an expected salary when applying for a job, and the company will have an actual salary. In 2020, the actual salary of the company is lower than the job seeker's expectation, but the salary provided by the security company has been very close to the job seeker's expectation. This shows that the market value of network security job seekers has gradually become clear. The median per capita salary of domestic cybersecurity listed companies in 2022 is 291,000 (265,000 last year), and the average is 295,000 (275,300 last year). The industry as a whole is on the rise.
In fact, there will be a salary gap between different positions in network security.
The job roles of cybersecurity practitioners can be divided into six categories: 1) supervision, compliance and governance; 2) planning, development and construction; 3) operation, maintenance and evaluation; 4) monitoring, defense and response; 5) awareness , education and training; 6) innovation, support and promotion. Among them, technical posts and product posts are positions with higher salaries.
However, the salary of the specific technical post. Depending on the region, the applicant's education background, work experience, and city-related job requirements will vary.
First, let’s look at the influence of region and city. More than half of the demand for network security talents is concentrated in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, as well as new first-tier cities such as Hangzhou, Wuhan, Chengdu, Xi'an, and Nanjing.
According to the data of the 2022 Network Security Talent Development Report, except for Beijing, Guangzhou, and Chengdu, which have relatively balanced talent supply and demand levels, network security talents in other cities are in a state of short supply. For example, the recruitment of network security talents in Beijing has the obvious characteristics of "big company effect" and "high education, high experience, high salary".
Then, if a job seeker lacks technical experience and education is not an advantage, and wants to apply for a job in a city with a balanced talent supply and demand, the salary will be lower.
Second, different technical posts. Salaries also vary.
In addition, there is currently a "fault phenomenon" in the supply of talents in the field of network security, that is, there is a serious shortage of high-level professionals who have keen security awareness and practical experience in attack and defense, and can analyze and solve complex security issues and high-level security threats. Practitioners with security operation and maintenance skills have a certain base, but their combat capabilities and technical depth cannot meet the needs of enterprises at this stage. Therefore, even for technical positions, there is a large gap in salary between different positions. The salary of "high-level professionals who can analyze and solve complex security problems and high-level security threats" will be very high, and the salary of penetration testing and security research and development positions will also be higher than that of security operation and maintenance.
Finally, the level of salary is also affected by different companies.
The payment of salary depends on the level of per capita performance, which is strongly related to the per capita gross profit of the company and the team: the higher the per capita gross profit, the higher the performance and earning power of the employees of the enterprise, and the more likely and should they get a higher average salary .
