The jobs behind this ranking

Open security jobs, who is hiring for them and what they pay.

Job titles link to their salary page where pay is posted, otherwise to the open jobs.

How this ranking works

An employer's score is its number of security roles in our data, counted on the day the edition is built. A role counts when its job family is security.

Employers are ranked on the open roles we verified on their own career sites in the last 14 days. The list shows what our crawler covers, which leans toward larger employers in technology, finance, defense and professional services, so it is not a count of every job in the market.

Parent brands are combined, so Amazon includes AWS and Prime Video and Alphabet includes Google and YouTube. Hourly roles, roles posted by staffing and recruiting firms, and placeholder names are left out.

Sample bar: employers with fewer than 10 openings are not ranked.

Sources: NextChapter job data: open professional roles on employer career sites, verified in the last 14 days; NextChapter weekly company signals (open roles by company), for the growth list. Data as of November 2026.

Our job data covers professional roles on the career sites of employers we track, so figures describe that market, not every job. Spot an error? Tell us.
