Frequently asked questions
- What is the average cybersecurity salary in Massachusetts?
- Measured from 61 live job postings in Massachusetts that disclose pay, the median cybersecurity salary is $180,000, with the middle half of roles falling between $141,500 and $213,562.5. These are real advertised ranges from company career pages, not survey estimates.
- How does Massachusetts cybersecurity pay compare to the rest of the US?
- Massachusetts's disclosed median runs about 6% below the median across all US states we track ($190,900). Remote roles complicate the picture: many pay to a national band regardless of where you sit.
- Which cybersecurity jobs pay the most in Massachusetts?
- Per-role samples inside one state are usually too small to publish honestly, but the national pattern holds everywhere: security engineering, cloud security, and AppSec lead individual-contributor pay, with CISO and security leadership above them. See the US salary leaderboard for role-by-role bands.
- Where do these numbers come from?
- From live cybersecurity job postings we aggregate hourly across 240+ security companies, keeping only postings that disclose a salary range and pass plausibility checks. Only ~14% of security postings publish pay, so the sample skews toward larger, transparency-friendly employers.
