New Security Salary Data
The Foote Salary Survey of all computer skills (covering 53
certifications and 82 skills) shows pay for all computer skills
declining but pay for certified security people rising rapidly.
David Foote writes, "The press has picked up the pattern, showing
GIAC certifications on a real tear. Even National Public Radio
highlighted this in an interview with me broadcast during drive
time this morning." The survey data show that security certifications
achieved the highest growth rates (up 9.2% to 8.3% of base pay in
the past quarter and up 18.6% in the past two quarters). The five
leading security certifications are all GIAC programs: UNIX,
Intrusion Detection, System and Network Security Auditor, Incident
Handler and Firewall Analyst.
Whirlers who are wondering about certifications to get to improve
their marketability -- either those who find themselves among the
.com diaspora, or folk still in school -- might conside the GIAC
certifications. The courses are offerred at www.sans.org.
