The CISO Report From Risk to Resilience in the AI Era

The CISO’s role is more demanding and dangerous, with very real, personal stakes on the line. Seventy-eight percent of CISOs are now concerned about their own liability for security incidents, a sharp jump from last year, when 56% expressed similar fears.

Yet, in the face of escalating demands, the CISO stands resilient. They are meeting modern needs by investing in solutions like generative and agentic AI to strengthen their organization’s security and boost productivity. The CISO’s keen eye recognizes that human intelligence and creativity will always be security’s most powerful tool. So, they prioritize upskilling their staff and hiring for critical roles like threat hunting, rather than relying solely on technology.
