How do I get an entry level network security administrator job?
Start by earning a foundational certification like CompTIA Security+ or Network+, which signals readiness to employers who can't rely on years of experience to screen candidates. Build a home lab, document a few hands-on projects, and highlight any internship or academic work involving firewalls, VPNs, or intrusion detection. Employers hiring at the entry level look for curiosity, technical fundamentals, and evidence you can learn on the job.

Companies hiring entry level network security administrators right now include Amazon, Optum, and Oracle, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this experience level, hiring tends to come from managed security service providers, federal contractors, healthcare systems, and large enterprises building out dedicated security teams.

Yes, though on-site roles still dominate at the entry level. About 22% of entry level network security administrator openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting employer preference for in-person mentorship and hands-on access to network infrastructure when onboarding junior staff.
