State of the CISO 2023

A global report on the top priorities, pain points, and security gaps impacting the evolving role of the CISO

Digitalization is the driver for modern business innovation, but the rapid adoption of digital services has also introduced new risks and challenges. In this survey of 300 CISOs/CSOs worldwide, we looked at how digital transformation initiatives have impacted their role.

Some of what we learned:

  • Nearly half of CISOs worldwide have concerns that a security breach in their organization could result in personal litigation or liability
  • CISOs say supply chain/third-party vendors and APIs are the biggest security control gaps in digital initiatives
  • CISOs at healthcare and financial services organizations face the biggest security impact due to digitalization
  • 95% of CISOs plan to prioritize API security over the next two years
