Entry Level Security Specialist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an entry level security specialist job?

Focus on certifications like CompTIA Security+, which many employers accept in place of years of experience. Internships, lab work, or volunteer security roles build the practical foundation hiring managers look for at this stage. Tailoring your resume to show hands-on exposure to threat monitoring, access control, or incident response will give you a clear edge over candidates with only coursework.

Which companies hire entry level security specialists?

Companies hiring entry level security specialists right now include Target, Convergint, and SimpliSafe, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a wide range of employers, including government contractors, healthcare organizations, financial institutions, and technology firms that maintain dedicated security teams.

Are there remote entry level security specialist jobs?

Yes, though most openings at this level are still on-site. About 6% of entry level security specialist openings are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, so options do exist for candidates who need location flexibility. Remote roles at this stage typically involve monitoring, analyst support, or compliance tasks that don't require a physical presence.

Are these new grad security specialist jobs?

Yes, the listings on this page include new grad, recent graduate, and junior security specialist roles. A new grad friendly posting typically welcomes zero to two years of experience and treats internships, lab projects, or security-focused coursework as qualifying background. Look for language like 'entry level,' 'junior,' or 'no experience required' to identify roles built for candidates just starting out.

Which industries hire the most entry level security specialists?

Entry Level security specialist roles concentrate in Retail, Technology & Software, and Electronics & Hardware, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because they manage sensitive data, regulated infrastructure, or high-traffic physical environments that require dedicated security support even from less experienced staff.
