IT Security and Cybersecurity Spending Benchmarks
Security and cybersecurity incidents are costly, with losses increasing every year. No wonder, then, that our research shows IT security and cybersecurity are the top priority for new IT investments year after year. But how much is enough?
Although investments in security should be based on a risk assessment, knowing what others in your industry are spending can provide an important baseline.
To answer this question, we have released a new report to provide key budgetary metrics for security and cybersecurity.
IT SALARY REPORT
Our IT Salary Report provides salary ranges for 81 specific IT job positions. The salary tables, in a searchable Excel workbook, provide base salaries plus bonus pay for more than 400 US metropolitan areas and 20 industry sectors.

The study also includes job definitions for each position covered.
