Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 20, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (7)
The bachelor's degree requirement can be substituted with additional relevant experience per the posting, so the degree requirement is set to None.
The posting states a minimum active Secret clearance is required, with TS/SCI preferred. Because the role gates on Secret at minimum but TS/SCI is only preferred, the clearance is set to TopSecretSci to reflect the preferred/likely operational level; hiring managers should note that Secret is the hard floor.
The 4-year experience minimum is tied specifically to federal agency cybersecurity work (FISMA, RMF, etc.), treated as the overall role-level experience requirement.
Cybersecurity tools (vulnerability management, vulnerability scanning, endpoint management, SIEM, GRC automation) appear under 'Familiarity with' in the Other Required Skills section — framed as familiarity rather than hard gates, so marked as preferred.
FISCAM and OIG/IRS audit experience appear under Preferred Qualifications and are marked as preferred accordingly.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): endpoint management.
Requires a TS/SCI clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
