The Irish Cyber Security Salary Survey 2025 can be downloaded here.

It has never been more important for businesses to understand the drivers, motivators and ambitions of Cybersecurity professionals across Ireland. This year we were supported by Cyber Ireland, who helped promote the questionnaire out to its network, as a result, we received a record number of respondents.

In a market where there were more than 6,000+ open roles in 2024, it really is a candidate-driven market and businesses that fail to adapt, risk falling behind.

To attract, develop and retain top talent your organisation needs to look at why Cybersecurity professionals are leaving their current roles and implement a strategy and benefits plan to help candidates achieve their goals so your business can achieve theirs.

The answer lies beyond salaries - career growth, flexible working options and meaningful benefits all play a critical role in reducing the high attrition rate that we are seeing across the market.

Retaining the top talent within your business starts with a strategy tailored to these needs. As experts in our field, we have developed an in-depth understanding of the Cybersecurity market from speaking with thousands of Cybersecurity specialists every year. We are able to provide guidance on the best recruitment strategies, salary ranges, benefits packages and career progression offerings, as well as offer detailed market insights for both clients. and candidates alike.
