Security Staff Acquisition & Development , Security Strategy, Plan, Budget Job dissatisfaction among cybersecurity professionals on the rise April 29, 2026 Share By SC Staff Infosecurity Magazine reports that a significant number of cybersecurity professionals are considering switching careers due to a lack of a pay raise and a sense of not being appreciated at work. Only about half of cyber workers expect their wages to increase in the next 12 months, indicating that the remaining employees are dissatisfied with their career situation, according to the recent Harvey Nash Global Tech Talent & Salary Report. One of the main reasons cited was the lack of investment in cybersecurity despite ongoing incidents of hacking, data breaches, and ransomware attacks, citing the attack on Jaguar Land Rover as an example that affected the UK economy. Only 22% of the companies surveyed confirmed they have invested in this area, which Harvey Nash Chief Information Officer Ankur Anand described as concerning. Employees are urged not to confine themselves to workplaces where they are undervalued, but to look for companies where they can better utilize their skills, as cybersecurity remains highly in demand today.
