How much does a cybersecurity specialist earn in the UK?
£75,000 is the middle of what is advertised here, which is 76% above the £42,500 median across UK IT as a whole. Read it as the midpoint of each advertised annual range rather than an offer: 0 of these adverts name no figure at all, and those are the ones where asking early is worth most.
Can you work from home as a cybersecurity specialist in the UK?
10 of the 15 live adverts here offer home working in some form — 1 fully remote and 9 hybrid. Fully remote means the advert states no office requirement; hybrid means it names a split.
Are there entry-level or graduate cybersecurity specialist jobs in the UK?
1 of the roles on this page read as graduate or junior level, which is 7% of what is live. Level is read from the job title, so a role advertised without one is counted as mid-level and may still be open to less experience.
What job titles are used for this role?
Employers on this page advertise it as Information Security Consultant, Senior Security Consultant, Security Consultant, Network Security/Cyber Security Engineer and Cyber Security Consultant. Searching one wording and not another is the most common way people miss vacancies, which is why this page groups them.
How much experience do these roles need?
The largest group is mid level (53% of the page). Seniority is read from the job title, so a role that does not signal a level in its title is counted as mid-level.
