Bengaluru is followed by Delhi-NCR at 7.95 per cent, Mumbai at 6.44 per cent, Pune at 5.88 per cent, Chennai at 5.26 per cent and Hyderabad at 4.95 per cent.
Indeed, a global matching and hiring platform, released data on the cybersecurity job market in India which reveals that over the last three years, cybersecurity jobs have shown consistency in their growth trajectory. From 2019 to 2022, cybersecurity job postings saw an increase of 81 per cent.
However, there has been a 25.7 per cent drop in job postings from September 2022 to September 2023. But this drop did not reflect in jobseekers interest, as job clicks witnessed a 6 per cent increase during the same period.
In terms of region, Bengaluru has the highest share of cybersecurity jobs in the country (23.11 per cent), driven by its status as the nation’s primary IT hub. “This dominance can also be attributed to the city’s dense tech landscape, with numerous IT firms and startups, increasing the potential for cyber threats and attacks,” the official report stated.

Our data also reinforces that the future holds tremendous potential,” said Sashi Kumar, Head of Sales for Indeed India.
