What kind of salaries an average security professional would get to start with?
In line with the increasing demand for security professionals, the salaries are higher than other certified professionals. The starting salary in this sector varies between Rs 3-4 lakh per annum for a technical analyst. It can go up to Rs 24 lakh per annum for a chief security manager. Are security certifications important for a professional? Security certifications lately have become one of the most popular skills not just in India but globally as well. However, they are an additional qualification. Just showing a security certificate by itself is not enough. One must also have sufficient work experience. Engineering or MCA qualifications are also preferable along with security certifications.
