Cybersecurity pros will get paid more in 2018 than ever before, headhunting firms say

Posted on by

With cyberattacks becoming more commonplace, the need for top security professionals has prompted a notable rise in salaries. Research from recruitment firm Robert Walters predicts that cybersecurity salaries will rise 7 percent in 2018. The broader information technology sector is also expected to experience a 2 percent salary increase overall. Josh Fisher, a senior vice president for D.C.-based professional staffing firm HireStrategy, told CyberScoop, that “conservative forecasts for cybersecurity salary increases in 2018, would be in the 10 to 15 percent range based on supply and demand in that space.” Cybersecurity professionals have been asking for higher wages, and with the need to hire top talent, companies typically accommodate their requests, experts say. A recent study from (ISC)2 showed that by 2022 there will be a shortage of 1.8 million professionals to work in IT.

Posted on by

The Democratic National Committee has named Bob Lord as its new chief security officer, hiring the former Yahoo CISO to lead the committee’s cybersecurity operations heading into the 2018 midterm elections. The hire was announced Thursday through a statement released by the DNC. The committee mentions that Lord will work with the organization’s own internal security team as well as in the field to support state parties, including efforts to update their “information security strategies” and improve practices to “change the economics” for attackers. “I’m confident Bob’s skills and hard work will help protect us against the sort of cyberattacks and intrusions that are unfortunately all too common in today’s age,” DNC Chair Tom Perez said in a release. “Defense is an essential part of any game plan, and I couldn’t be happier with Bob holding the line for the DNC.” The DNC has never employed a CSO before.

Cyxtera Technologies to acquire offensive cyber firm Immunity

Posted on by

Internet infrastructure company Cyxtera Technologies has acquired Miami-based Immunity Inc., a penetration testing technology development and vulnerability research firm founded by former NSA analyst Dave Aitel. Cyxtera Technologies decided to acquire the startup in order to expand its product portfolio, which will now include various offensive-oriented tools to test defensive systems. The new offerings will be packaged into a “threat analytics solution” to be sold by Cyxtera Technologies later this year, based on a press release distributed by the company. Terms for the acquisition were not disclosed. It is expected to close by the end of the first fiscal quarter. “In the security industry, it’s rare that you can blend together offense and defense-oriented capabilities,” Christopher Day, chief cybersecurity officer of Cyxtera, said in a release. “The advantages of combining Immunity’s products and services with Cyxtera’s portfolio creates an opportunity to approach cybersecurity in a truly holistic manner.” Cyxtera Technologies […]
