Sausalito, Calif. – Jul. 25, 2024
The bad news is that there is currently a major shortage of cybersecurity professionals; around 3.5 million cybersecurity professionals are needed globally to properly protect the world’s data, according to Cybersecurity Ventures.
But the good news is the industry is a prime area for individuals to find a long-lasting career — and with a high-paying salary.
According to Fortune, organizations with open cybersecurity positions include Microsoft, TikTok, Deloitte, AT&T, NVIDIA, Coinbase, Rockstar Games, Marathon, Raytheon, and more. But the need is not unique to the private sector; universities, local governments, and federal agencies are also actively seeking security experts.
Information security analysts are in demand and earn a median annual pay of about $120,000, says the U.S. Labor Department. Fortune lists five high-paying jobs in this category from the Federal Reserve of St. Louis, Microsoft, MIT, NVIDIA, and Visa.
