I'm going to assume the number is for any tech job that has even the slightest but of security function, including any sysadmin, dbeng, webapp dev, etc

It's just too big to be correct.

You're probably right, any tech ad featuring the tag "security".

Probably non-dev jobs too, managers, tech writers, HR, office assistants, etc.
