Minority cybersecurity professionals in the US hold higher academic degrees than their Caucasian counterparts. Less than a quarter of minority cybersecurity professionals hold job titles of director and above. Disparity in salaries and management roles for underrepresented groups remains a common theme. The average US cybersecurity professional earns a salary of $122,000, the average salary for people of color is $115,000. Of those minorities in leadership roles, 62% hold Master’s degrees or higher, while half of Caucasian cybersecurity pros do.”]
