Forrester's CISO Budget Priorities For 2025 Focus On API, Supply Chain Security
VentureBeat, Monday, September 2nd, 2024
Going into 2025, safeguarding revenue and minimizing business risks must dominate CISOs' budgets, with investments aligned with business operations driving priorities.
Forrester's latest budget planning guide for security and risk clarifies that securing business-critical IT assets needs to be a high priority going into next year. 'The budget increases that CISOs will receive in 2025 should prioritize addressing threats and controls in application security, people and business-critical infrastructure,' writes Forrester in the report.
CISOs must double down on threats and controls to get application security rights, secure business-critical infrastructure and improve human risk management. Forrester sees software supply chain security, API security and IoT/OT threat detection as core to business operations and advises CISOs to invest in these areas.
