Questions

How many Cybersecurity jobs are open in India right now?

OnJob is tracking 470 open Cybersecurity roles in India in August 2026, from 47 employers, out of 1,867 in the sector worldwide. Bangalore has the most (314), and Palo Alto Networks is the single biggest hirer with 119 open roles. These are listings open at capture time, crawled from the employers' own careers pages.

Which companies are hiring for Security roles in India?

By open India roles in August 2026: Palo Alto Networks (119), Okta (81), Zscaler (62), CrowdStrike (40), Rubrik (28), CloudSEK (20). This counts roles advertised publicly on each employer's careers page, so companies that hire Security talent mainly through agencies or referrals are under-represented.

Is Cybersecurity a good field to get into in India?

Cloud security, identity, endpoint, data protection and the SOC — a talent-short field paying accordingly. On the current feed, 3% of India Security roles are remote or hybrid, 66% are senior (lead/staff/manager and above by title) and 2% are junior or entry-level. A sector skewed senior rewards experience and is harder to break into cold; a more even split means more genuine entry points. Read the split before you read the salary.

What does OnJob's Security data actually measure?

Roles are assigned to Cybersecurity by employer — a curated, verified list of companies known to operate in this sector — plus, where a job title is an unambiguous sector signal, the title itself. It measures advertised demand, not headcount or revenue, and a company can appear in more than one sector. Everything here is computed from OnJob's own live crawl and is free to reuse with attribution.
