Nearly half of security pros feel they should get “a bit more” compensation than IT pros. Nearly half would accept a lower salary if it was necessary to keep their job, survey finds. More than 90 percent of respondents say money is a factor in their job searches. Five percent fewer security pros make more than $120,000 a year than those surveyed in 2008/2009 by the Information Security Leaders.
