Entry Level Cybersecurity Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level cybersecurity job?
Entry level cybersecurity employers look for candidates who can demonstrate hands-on skills, not just a degree. Earning a recognized certification like CompTIA Security+ or Google's Cybersecurity Certificate signals you can do the work. A home lab, a capture-the-flag write-up, or an internship project you can walk through in an interview gives you a concrete edge over candidates with no tangible work to show.
Which companies hire entry level cybersecuritys?
Companies hiring entry level cybersecuritys right now include Kyndryl, Casey's, and Boston Consulting, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. At this level, hiring comes from a wide range of employers, including federal contractors, managed security service providers, financial institutions, and technology companies that maintain their own security operations centers.
Are there remote entry level cybersecurity jobs?
Yes, though on-site roles still make up a share of openings at this level. About 31% of entry level cybersecurity openings are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, which gives candidates outside major metro areas a realistic path into the field without relocating for a first role.
Are these new grad cybersecurity jobs?
Yes. These listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior cybersecurity roles. A new grad-friendly posting typically welcomes zero to two years of experience and treats internships, academic projects, and self-built lab environments as qualifying background. If the posting lists a certification as a preferred qualification rather than a hard requirement, that is another signal it is open to new grad applicants.
Which industries hire the most entry level cybersecuritys?
Entry Level cybersecurity roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Education, and Manufacturing, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. These sectors drive entry level hiring because they handle sensitive data at scale, face regulatory compliance requirements, or operate infrastructure that demands continuous monitoring and threat response.
