My last posting about InfoSec jobs was about 3 months ago. Let's take a look at the demand for InfoSec professionals.
Similar to my previous post, I used the InfoSec certification abbreviations as a search string and did not specify any U.S. city or zip code and came up the following numbers.
CareerBuilder.com
Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) - 1847
Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) - 1534
Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) - 412
Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) - 335
Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) - 115
Global Information Assurance Certification (GIAC) - 76
Cisco Certified Security Professional (CCSP) - 62
Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) - 28
GIAC Security Essentials Certification (GSEC) - 25
Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) - 17
Security Certified Network Architect (SCNA) - 10
Security Certified Network Professional (SCNP) - 9
Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) - 8
Certified Wireless Security Professional (CWSP) - 2
DICE.com
CCNA - 744
CISSP - 769
CCNP - 511
CISA - 201
GIAC - 145
CISM - 161
CCSP - 104
SSCP - 50
GSEC - 42
CEH - 39
SCNA - 32
SCNP - 15
CHFI - 2
Monster.com
CISSP - 838
CCNA - 659
CISA - 444
CCNP - 426
CISM - 152
GIAC - 103
CCSP - 68
GSEC - 47
SSCP - 46
CEH - 32
SCNA - 18
SCNP - 17
CHFI - 10
CWSP - 2
Hotjobs.com
CCNA - 249
CISSP - 237
CCNP - 172
CISA - 110
CISM - 48
GIAC - 38
CCSP - 30
GSEC - 14
SSCP - 9
CEH - 5
SCNA - 5
CWSP - 3
SCNP - 1
CHFI - 1
Please note though that this is just a count of the strings on the websites so this cannot represent the actual number of job openings. A company can post their job opening on the 3 websites below and it will be counted as 3 (one for each site below) instead of 1. Also, some jobs list several certifications on their posting, e.g. CISSP, CISA, CEH certified, so an open position with this criteria will have a count for each of the InfoSec certification listed, i.e. 1 for CISSP, 1 for CISA and 1 for CEH, even though the open position is only 1.
The job search results for CareerBuilder and Dice websites only listed the jobs posted within the last 30 days while Monster showed jobs for the last 60 days and Hotjobs is showing any open position on it's database. I will try to create another count in about a month so. Please let me know if you want me to add other InfoSec certifications or other job hunting websites on the list.
