The salary distribution is concentrated around the middle of the market, with the lower quartile at $118,218 and the median at $118,263, then extending higher to an upper quartile of $161,050. Among postings that included pay, salaries ran from $45,000 at the low end to $274,000 at the high end, indicating a market that includes both lower-paid and substantially higher-paid cybersecurity roles.
Work arrangement leaned heavily toward onsite hiring, with hybrid and remote postings forming a much smaller part of the quarter’s mix. The monthly remote share shown for June was 6.1%, matching a quarter in which remote-advertised roles were limited. Where postings specified a job type, the mix was overwhelmingly full-time, with only small numbers of contract and internship listings. Tag usage also points to a market centered on broad security functions: Information Security appeared in 329 postings, Security in 315, and InfoSec in 294, alongside notable demand for Cybersecurity Tools at 210 and Security Compliance at 172.
