Navigating the complexities of today’s digital landscape, it s clear that cyber security can no longer be the sole accountability and responsibility of one person the CISO. As cyber threats evolve, becoming more frequent and sophisticated, a single individual can t feasibly manage it all. As a result, and at some point in the future, we may dare to consider that the traditional CISO role might eventually become obsolete as business units become secure-by-design.
The latest Security Maturity Report, published today by ClubCISO, shows 76 percent of CISOs reported no material breaches over the past year, up from 68 percent in 2022.
In 2023, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) continues to be an important role with a broad reach for securing every aspect of a business, their people and systems. The security team reporting to the CISO is responsible for protecting thousands of IT devices and systems dispersed across broad geographic areas from attackers who also may be anywhere on the planet. Additionally, modern infrastructures are dependent on sophisticated security technologies to monitor traffic and distinguish between normal, everyday activities and potentially malicious activity due to the ongoing threat of attacks.
A new survey of 300 CIOs, CISOs, and security executives from enterprises across Europe and the USA shows that 88 percent of organizations admit to being compromised by a cyber incident over the past two years.
