- Experience monitoring security information and event management platforms such as Splunk or IBM QRadar
- Familiarity with NIST, MITRE ATT&CK, or other cybersecurity frameworks used by Texas energy and defense employers

Security Operations Center Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a security operations center analyst in Texas?
Most Texas employers expect candidates to hold at least a CompTIA Security+ certification, and many defense or government-adjacent employers require the ability to obtain a federal security clearance. Texas does not have a state-issued license specific to SOC analysts, so the path centers on earning vendor-neutral or vendor-specific certifications such as CySA+, CEH, or GCIA, completing an associate or bachelor's degree in cybersecurity or information technology, and gaining hands-on lab or internship experience before applying.
How much do security operations centers make in Texas?
Security operations centers in Texas earn a median of about $129,890 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $77,990 for the lowest 10% to over $178,550 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire security operations center analysts in Texas?
Employers hiring security operations centers in Texas right now include CENCORE, Allied Universal, and CEVA Logistics, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Texas's concentration of federal contractors, financial institutions, and energy companies means SOC roles here often require industry-specific compliance knowledge such as NERC CIP for utilities or PCI DSS for payment processors.
Which Texas cities have the most security operations center jobs?
Houston, San Antonio, and Austin hold the largest share of security operations center openings in Texas. Dallas draws heavily from its dense cluster of financial services firms and telecom headquarters, San Antonio benefits from a strong military and federal contracting presence anchored by Joint Base San Antonio, and Houston's energy sector and sprawling medical complex generate consistent demand for infrastructure and healthcare SOC roles.
Are there remote security operations center jobs in Texas?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 0% of security operations center openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the analytical and platform-based nature of much SOC work. Threat monitoring, alert triage, and log analysis roles tend to be the most remote-friendly, while positions requiring hands-on lab access, classified network environments, or on-site government facilities remain predominantly in-person.
How can I get hired as a security operations center analyst in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a Tier 1 SOC analyst role, which Texas employers in financial services and managed security service providers actively recruit for with minimal experience if candidates hold a CompTIA Security+ certification. USAA and AT&T both run structured cybersecurity associate programs out of San Antonio and Dallas respectively. Lateral moves from IT helpdesk, network operations, or systems administration are common entry points, and completing a hands-on home lab or capture-the-flag portfolio strengthens applications significantly.
Where can I find and apply to security operations center jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to security operations center jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to Texas employers. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your experience and location preference, and apply directly to the employer through the listing.
