The Secret clearance market is booming as defense contractors and federal agencies push back against ransomware, supply‑chain attacks, and emerging quantum threats. With 1,259 openings, companies are prioritizing experts who can design secure architectures that meet NSA Suite B and NIST 800‑53 standards. The demand for Secret‑level talent is higher than ever, and the salary range reflects the specialized skills and the high‑risk environments these professionals manage.

Roles span from Secure Software Engineer to Threat Intelligence Analyst, Cybersecurity Architect and Program Manager. Typical responsibilities include hardening embedded systems, conducting penetration tests on classified networks, modeling attack vectors with STRIDE, and ensuring FIPS 140‑2 compliance for cryptographic modules. Many positions also involve coordinating with the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and maintaining continuous monitoring via the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) program.

Salary transparency is crucial for Secret‑level workers because pay can vary widely based on the contractor’s mission, the complexity of the system, and the level of clearance.
