Cybersecurity Analyst salary in India
Cybersecurity Analyst pay rises at BFSI and GCC SOCs with SIEM tuning and incident outcomes. Cert-only profiles stay at lower band without production SOC stories.
LPA bands by experience
Ranges reflect mixed services + product hiring — not top-decile outliers or internship stipends.
| Experience | Typical fixed CTC band |
|---|---|
| 0–2 years | 4–9 LPA |
| 3–5 years | 8–16 LPA |
| 5–8 years | 12–24 LPA |
City and remote notes

- Hyderabad (HYD): GCC growing
- NCR (Delhi NCR): BFSI security upper
- Pune: mid
- Remote (India): remote SOC for global above local mid
Negotiation tip
Shift and on-call allowances should be explicit — SOC roles with 24/7 rotation deserve compensatory off or pay premiums beyond headline CTC.
