State of the CISO Europe

Priorities, pain points and security gaps in key European markets

Digitalisation drives modern business innovation, but the rapid adoption of digital services has also introduced new risks and challenges.

Working with the independent research firm Global Surveyz, Salt surveyed 300 CISOs/CSOs worldwide. This report examined specific responses in key European markets, including the UK, France, and Benelux.

Some of what we learned:

  • Over half of European CISOs have concerns that a security breach in their organization may result in personal litigation.
  • 92% of European CISOs say hiring qualified cybersecurity talent is a significant issue in delivering digital initiatives
  • The speed of AI adoption and macro-economic uncertainty tie as the global trends most impacting CISOs in Europe
  • API security will be a priority for 96% of European CISOs in the next two years
