Closer ties between CISOs and C-suite execs offers marked benefits for enterprises
The role of the CISO is growing in status as cybersecurity becomes an increasingly pressing issue for enterprises globally, new research shows.
A recent study from Splunk shows security execs are being granted more powers to make strategic decisions for the business and are fostering closer collaborative ties with the boardroom and CEO.
More than eight-in-ten CISOs now report directly to the CEO, a huge increase from 47% in 2023. Meanwhile, 83% participate in board meetings somewhat often or most of the time.
