It pays to be in cybersecurity, and it pays well if you're at the top of the corporate ladder. A new report from SilverBull, a technology recruiting firm, reveals how much Chief Information Security Officers make across the United States. It's no surprise that the highest paying gigs correlate with the cost of living in each city. According to the report, there are currently almost 500 CISO openings across the country. We all know that there's a major shortage of cybersecurity professionals, so these salaries will continue to trend upwards. If you're not in cybersecurity, now is the perfect time to jump in.
