This article analyzes the Russian labor market in the information security segment for healthcare institutions. It's noted that the active digitalization of healthcare institutions, the increased number of cyber attacks on its and the active change in legislation on information security determine the interest in research of this segment of the Russian labor market. It's shown that many publications provide data on the entire labor market in the information security segment, indicating the distribution of vacancies by industry, the distribution of vacancies by groups, requirements for candidates, salary levels, etc. At the same time, insufficient attention has been paid to the labor market in the information security segment for healthcare institutions. Based on this, research in this area requires further study. The research was mainly based on recent data from the HeadHunter and SuperJob portals. Using the example of Moscow and St. Petersburg, the most frequently found positions in vacancies were analyzed; requirements for the level of education; the structure of vacancies in terms of salary, work experience, types of employment and work schedules, as well as required labor functions. Based on the results obtained and data from known sources, conclusions are formulated. It's shown that for information security specialists working in healthcare institutions or just getting a job, not only requirements are imposed on the level of education and work experience, but also a fairly wide list of requirements for labor functions in information security. Therefore, the work of such specialists is quite complex and requires deep and versatile knowledge from various fields. This determines the difficulties in selecting a competent information security specialist for healthcare institutions. A number of general recommendations are proposed to improve the situation on the Russian labor market in the information security segment for healthcare institutions.
