CISO Compensation in 2025: Seeking Growth in a Slowly-Moving Market
The CISO role continues to increase in visibility and influence in the business, due to a dramatic expansion in scope over the last few years. However, compensation growth for CISOs has not kept pace with the changes in both scope and impact. Macro conditions have slowed the market down and a general lack of job movement has contributed to relatively meager gains in CISO compensation through 2025 compared to prior years. In this webinar, IANS Faculty Steve Martano and Senior Research Director Nick Kakolowski will explore the findings of the IANS and Artico CISO Compensation and Budget Survey to discuss the broader CISO hiring market. While they'll focus on unpacking the data on CISO compensation and anecdotal market trends behind that data, they'll use that data as an entry point into a conversation designed to help CISOs think about their own standing in the business, providing insights and strategies to continue to enhance their brand and the brand of their program. Whether they are preparing to enter the market or getting ready for reviews or retention conversations. the webinar will cover:
- How CISOs can advocate for themselves within the business and improve how security is regarded by leadership.
- How to position yourself as a thought leader in emerging technologies such as AI, ML, and the ever-evolving vendor universe
- Ways to demonstrate value to the organization as a strategic executive.
- What to think about in balancing personal risk as an executive with the protections and perks included in your compensation package.
