Security Concepts demand rises 18 % in the IT market
Security Concepts are systematic plans and strategies that organizations develop to protect their IT infrastructure, data, and systems from threats. They encompass risk analysis, definition of protective measures, and establishment of processes to counter attacks. Companies use Security Concepts to identify vulnerabilities and build comprehensive protection systems. Specialized techniques such as Public Key Infrastructure play a role in implementation. Such a concept forms the foundation for all further security measures within an organization.
Concrete projects emerge when companies review their existing systems or build new infrastructure. Freelancers are frequently engaged to analyze security gaps and develop action plans. Penetration tests using tools like Burp Suite or OWASP ZAP may be deployed to demonstrate vulnerabilities in practice. Typical tasks include documentation of risks, prioritization of measures, and creation of implementation plans. Specialists also advise companies on selecting appropriate security solutions and integrating them into existing processes.

Methodology: We count IT postings of the last 90 days that mention Security Concepts. Projects posted several times that are detected as duplicates count once; postings without an assignable IT category are missing, so the figures are a lower bound. The trend compares the share of all IT postings with the 90 days before and only appears with enough comparison data. We do not show figures based on fewer than 30 data points. The rating “must have” or “nice to have” comes from an AI analysis of the posting texts. Distributions only refer to postings that state the respective attribute; we state the coverage alongside. The description of the skill is created automatically (from our skill directory or by AI) and checked by machine: no numbers, no company names, only the skill and its neighbours in the taxonomy. Texts are created and checked automatically, numbers come from the postings. An AI assigns the project type and role of each posting from its title, category and skills; the shares are counted postings, not estimates, and only appear with enough classified postings.
