2020 Cybersecurity Salary Survey Results

The following document summarizes the results of the 2020 Cybersecurity Salary Survey conducted on December 2019.

By aggregating and correlating the results of 1,324 security pros who filled out the survey, we were able to compile an actionable and intuitive tool that delivers clear insight into the state and contributing factors of key cybersecurity roles.

The data that was received provided us the means to profile five security positions:

• Security Analyst/Threat Intelligence Specialist
• Network Security Engineer
• Security Director/ Manager
• Penetration Tester
• Security Architect/ Cloud Security Architect

For each of these, we provide a detailed analysis of the overall salary range, as well as the impacts of the following:

• Company profile: size, scope, industry, geolocation.
• Individual profile: experience and certification.

In addition, we have included a section on existence, size and frequency of a bonus component. This is a tool that is ready to use for your needs.

Individual Contributor: match yourself against the profile and see how your compensation benchmarks against your peers.

Decision Maker/Team Manager: get the knowledge you need to build a competitive compensation plan to recruit and retain the talent you need.
