2026 State of the CISO: A Role Divided
We’ve hit a tipping point in how the CISO role is regarded by most businesses. Data from the IANS and Artico CISO Compensation and Budget Survey indicates organizations are increasingly either elevating the CISO into an executive-level role or limiting the CISO to a director-level tactical function.
In this webinar, IANS Faculty Steve Martano and Senior Research Director Nick Kakolowski will provide a deep dive into this data to discuss how the CISO role is evolving, including:
- Changes in scope and reporting lines based on how the CISO is regarded by the business.
- Career pathways for CISOs.
- Guidance on how to shape your CISO persona to advance how you are perceived in your business and position yourself to best achieve your career goals.
