The Mind of the CISO

The Future of Cyber Resilience: How CISOs and their organizations strategically leverage hybrid infrastructures and AI innovation to navigate regulations, compliance, and the evolving threat landscape.

Over 500 CISOs or equivalent roles across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and the Asia Pacific region share their views on the cyber resilience architecture needed to navigate regulations, compliance, and the evolving threat landscape. Respondents work across various industries, including finance, public sector, healthcare (public and private), manufacturing, energy, oil, gas, and utilities. This report sheds light on:

Hybrid infrastructure as the cornerstone of the CISO's security strategy
The convergence of OT and IT security for better risk management
The role of intelligent defense to stay ahead of AI-powered threats

The key benefit of hybrid to me is business continuity. That is first and foremost top of the list. If something were to happen, we could resort to our on-premises stuff and continue to work."

It is challenging to manage hybrid environments - the combination of private and public cloud, and on-premises makes security controls more complicated."

Singapore, Energy, Oil & Gas

A hybrid environment specifically allows the organization to be much more scalable, much more flexible, much more cost-effective. And given that you are in a heavily regulated environment, when the regulations change, when the rules change, when there's any kind of change, you want to react really quickly."

US, Banking

I’m not that concerned with the directives, because we always operate under a guise of best practice, and we try to avoid those landmines of ‘I can’t afford it’, ‘we don’t have time’, ‘we’re too busy’, ‘we don’t have the bandwidth’. You make the time. You make the bandwidth. Because one thing you can’t afford is to be on the other side when things go bad. You don’t get to make that mistake twice."
