IT Salaries were on the rise. More companies were investing in information technology. The emphasis over the past several years is in both e-commerce and mobile computing. At the same time with the ever-increasing Cyber attacks and data breaches, CIO are looking to harden their sites and lock down data access so that they can protect all of their electronic assets.

Budgeting for 2023 is starting - salaries for all IT Pros are a key component of the overall IT Budget. Security professionals are among the highest-paid because they are in high demand with an emphasis on protection from cyberattacks including ransomware.

When IT Security Pros are viewed as a job family, their median salary is $102,717. That is above the median for all IT Professionals.

Demand will continue to be high for this specialty for the next several quarters as cyber-attacks are on the rise. Budgeting needs to take that into consideration in order to retain existing staff as well as for hiring new and replacement staff.
