Directors of Security

The U.S. Department of Labor does not provide an employment outlook for directors of security, but it predicts that job opportunities for general and operations managers (a category that includes security directors) will increase by 6 percent from 2023 to 2033, which is faster than the average for all occupations. Increasing cybercrime, industrial espionage, and other threats to the physical and digital security of businesses and other organizations will fuel demand for directors of security. Those with advanced degrees, certification, and experience will have the best job prospects.
