Network security or virtual private network VPN management software

Technology category · O*NET

Network security or virtual private network VPN management software is a technology category in the O*NET database. Across U.S. occupations, 24 report using software or tools in this category. The named products below are the specific examples O*NET records for those jobs. The occupations that use it sit, on average, at the 87th percentile of AI task-exposure ( high) — how much that work overlaps with what AI can do, not a sign the tool is being replaced. See where every tool category sits.

A Hot tag marks technologies O*NET sees frequently in employer job postings; In demand marks tools an occupation specifically requires.

Example software & tools

Ranked by how many occupations list each product. Each number is an occupation count — a job is counted once per product — so the product rows overlap and do not sum to the category total.

Occupations that use Network security or virtual private network VPN management software

Exposure quadrant: AI task-overlap percentile vs Median pay AI task-overlap (horizontal) versus median pay (vertical), each as a percentile across all scored occupations, for 24 occupations in occupations that use Network security or virtual private network VPN management software. Overlap measures shared tasks with AI, not automation. Lower overlap · higher pay Higher overlap · higher pay Higher overlap · lower pay Lower overlap · lower pay Stonemasons Bridge and Lock Tenders Chemical Plant and System Operators Computer, Automated Teller, and Office Machine Repairers Security Management Specialists Computer Network Support Specialists Computer User Support Specialists Telecommunications Engineering Specialists Desktop Publishers Mining and Geological Engineers, Including Mining Safety Engineers Computer Systems Engineers/Architects Mathematicians AI task-overlap percentile → ↑ Median pay

How AI is used by roles that use Network security or virtual private network VPN management software

A software category is not itself "being automated" — but we can look at the roles that report using Network security or virtual private network VPN management software and ask how those people actually use AI. This rolls the Anthropic Economic Index per-role signal up across those roles, weighted by how much observed AI activity each one has. 20.8% of the 24 roles that use this category carry observed AI-usage data (5 roles).

Across those roles, 54.8% of AI conversations are people working with AI and 40.4% hand a task to AI , with an average autonomy of 3.91 / 5.

Collaboration pattern Share What it means
directive 31.2% AI does it; you give the instruction
task iteration 28.2% you and AI go back and forth
learning 21.6% you ask AI to explain or teach
feedback loop 9.1% AI does it, then adjusts from your feedback
validation 5.0% you do it; AI checks your work

Roles behind this signal

The roles using this category that have the most AEI data. "Works with AI" is the role's share of conversations that augment rather than automate.

Occupation Works with AI Autonomy
Computer Science Teachers, Postsecondary 68.5% 4.0/5
Computer, Automated Teller, and Office Machine Repairers 33.4% 4.0/5
Mathematicians 44.6% 4.0/5
Desktop Publishers 46.4% 3.0/5
Sales Engineers 54.1% 4.0/5

Source: Anthropic Economic Index (2026-01-15-v4-plus-2025-03-27-v2) over a sample of Claude.ai Free and Pro conversations — not all AI tools and not the whole workforce. Roles list software categories in O*NET; this does not mean AI is used inside Network security or virtual private network VPN management software, only that people in those roles use AI. Some conversations are left unclassified, so shares need not sum to 100.

Industries that concentrate this

Where Network security or virtual private network VPN management software matters most across the economy. Employment reach is the share of an industry's workers in occupations that significantly use Network security or virtual private network VPN management software (O*NET importance ≥ 3 of 5, or report using the tool category). Concentration compares that reach to the national average industry, so a value above 1× means the requirement is more pervasive here than across the economy as a whole.

Nationally, about 2.4% of workers are in occupations that significantly use Network security or virtual private network VPN management software (measured across 65 industries).

Sectors with the most such workers

Sector Workers Employment reach
Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services 1,000,500 9.3%
Educational Services 329,160 2.4%
Information 308,650 10.6%
Finance and Insurance 304,840 4.9%
Management of Companies and Enterprises 274,700 9.8%
Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services 226,270 2.5%
Manufacturing 221,620 1.7%
Wholesale Trade 188,920 3.1%
Health Care and Social Assistance 187,900 0.8%
Other Services (except Public Administration) 85,930 1.9%
Retail Trade 75,300 0.5%
Transportation and Warehousing 51,650 0.7%

Industries where it is most concentrated

Industry Level Concentration Employment reach
Information Sector 4.42× 10.6%
Management of Companies and Enterprises Sector 4.08× 9.8%
Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services Sector 3.88× 9.3%
Direct Health and Medical Insurance Carriers National industry 3.5× 8.4%
Engineering Services National industry 2.46× 5.9%
Finance and Insurance Sector 2.04× 4.9%
Utilities Sector 1.71× 4.1%
Temporary Help Services National industry 1.62× 3.9%
Wholesale Trade Sector 1.29× 3.1%
Insurance Agencies and Brokerages National industry 1.08× 2.6%
Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services Sector 1.04× 2.5%
Educational Services Sector 2.4%

Reach is a measure of how widespread a requirement is across an industry's workforce, not how intensively any individual uses it. Sector worker counts come from BLS OEWS employment; the significance threshold and tool use come from O*NET. Industries shown by concentration are filtered to a real worker base so a tiny specialty cannot top the list on rounding.
