10. Chief Security Officer, $134,000 - $204,750
Pay for CSOs in 2015 will rank among the highest salaries, but will jump a modest 7.1% year over year, according to Robert Half's salary guide.
The CSO position is a new addition to the list this year, Reed noted, and its salary increase is a testament that security is driving the demand for certain technology roles. "Security continues to be a hot issue -- there just aren't enough skilled people in this area to fill the demand for the talent," he said.
Network security engineers (6.7%), information systems security managers (6.6%), and systems security administrators (6%) all saw modest salary increases as well.
