Salary Survey – 2015 Security

Annual Salary Survey Big Data Linux Security

There are a lot of cybersecurity certs out there. We tracked 162 for this survey, and probably still ended up omitting a handful. This list of 12, ranked by average base salary in 2015, was drawn from the most statistically relevant certs in the survey — those held by the largest numbers of survey respondents. Finally, it’s worth noting that while we don’t restrict participation in our surveys by region, this one was dominated by U.S. IT pros, who accounted for a hefty 71 percent of the total survey population.
