Entry-level cybersecurity salaries typically range from $60,000 to $85,000 annually in the U.S., depending on skills, certifications, and project exposure; from my observation, learners from programs like H2K Infosys usually fall within this range when they build strong practical skills. In today’s market, many candidates secure cyber security jobs with training when they combine certifications like Security+, CEH, or AWS Security with hands-on lab experience, SIEM tool exposure, and basic scripting knowledge. Freshers who also understand cloud security, threat monitoring, and incident response often negotiate better starting packages, especially in QA-to-security transition roles or SOC analyst positions across enterprise IT environments and consulting firms globally.
