Provide Security And Protection Jobs in Multiple Locations

Entry‑level analysts earn $70k‑$90k annually, mid‑level roles ($100k‑$150k) require 3‑5 years of experience plus certifications, while senior positions such as Lead Security Engineer or Physical Security Director command $150k‑$220k, with bonuses and benefits raising total compensation further.

Core skills include threat modeling, SIEM (Splunk, QRadar), IDPS, CCTV analytics, and building‑management system integration. Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CompTIA Security+, Physical Security Professional (PSP), and ISO 27001 Lead Implementer carry high market value.

Cyber‑security portions of the role (SOC analyst, threat intelligence, incident response) are often fully remote or hybrid. Physical security positions—such as on‑site security manager or access‑control specialist—require presence at facilities, but many companies offer rotational on‑site duties with remote monitoring support.

Typical pathways move from Analyst to Senior Analyst, then to Lead or Manager, followed by Director of Security or CISO. Physical security professionals can advance to Facilities Security Director, VP of Physical Security, or Chief Protection Officer, often blending with cyber‑security leadership roles.

Key trends include convergence of cyber and physical security, AI‑driven threat detection, increased protection of IoT devices in smart buildings, stricter compliance frameworks (GDPR, NIST, ISO 27001), and the rise of integrated security platforms that unify access control, video surveillance, and network monitoring.
