2020 Cybersecurity Professionals Salary, Skills and Stress Report
Research reveals most Cybersecurity Professionals embrace automation...
Yet half of younger staffers fear being replaced by Technology
The Exabeam 2020 Cybersecurity Professionals Salary, Skills and Stress report is based on a survey of 351 security professionals in the US, UK, Germany, Singapore and Australia. The purpose of the survey was to gain insight on trends in the salaries of security practitioners, education levels, job satisfaction and attitudes toward innovative and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Key insights:
- Of respondents under the age of 45, 53% agreed or strongly agreed that AI and ML are a threat to their job security. Interestingly, when asked directly about automation software, 89% of respondents under 45 years old believed it would improve their jobs, yet 47% are still threatened by its use.
- On the flip side, there were noticeable increases in job approval across the board, with an upward trend in satisfaction around role and responsibilities (96%), salary (87%) and work/life balance (77%). Just over half (53%) reported jobs that are either stressful or very stressful, which is down from last year (62%).
- Though the number of female respondents increased this year, it remains to be seen whether this will emerge as a trend. This year’s male respondents (78%) are down 13% from last year (91%).
