Singapore Cyber Security Talent Market Report 2025: Skills, Salaries & Shifting Priorities

What’s happening in the cyber security market in Singapore right now? How are organisations responding to an evolving threat landscape? And what opportunities does this present to cyber security professionals? Our technology and digital enablement team recently compiled our Singapore Cyber Security Talent Market Report, looking at skills, salaries and shifting priorities in the cyber security recruitment market. 

Skills in demand 

Cyber threats are coming in all sorts of shapes and sizes, making it increasingly challenging for human teams alone to identify emerging security threats. AI can help organisations analyse large amounts of data, recognise patterns and identify potential risks. What kind of skills do cyber security professionals need in order to utilise these technologies and protect their organisation?  

The talent stand-off   

Ongoing uncertainty in the global economy has resulted in candidates being reluctant to move and organisations being more cautious about hiring. To save costs, businesses are offshoring and nearshoring to the likes of Malaysia and Manila, which means candidates might even be relocated. Against this backdrop of uncertainty, how can organisations attract the talent they need?  

Salaries on the up  

With candidates reluctant to move, hiring companies are offering pay increases of 20-30% for professionals with niche skill sets, such as AI. There doesn’t even have to be a role in the organisation; if a candidate has the right skills and the right fit, organisations will create something for them, regardless of budget. But with Singapore now the most expensive city in the world, is a salary increase enough to encourage someone to move?
