The cyber talent shortage? Job postings just hit a four-year low
US employers posted 235,786 cybersecurity job openings from January through September 2026, marking the lowest volume in four years according to staffing firm CyberSN's analysis of JobSpikr listings. The job market has shifted toward governance, risk and compliance (GRC) roles within security teams.
Why it matters: Security hiring managers and practitioners evaluating career trends should note that demand for traditional cybersecurity roles has contracted to its weakest level in four years, with a notable pivot toward GRC functions.
