5 CISO myths, debunked

Bugcrowd's recent report "Inside the Mind of a CISO" surveyed 209 security leaders worldwide to understand their current priorities and challenges. The report debunks five common myths about CISOs, including that they are opposed to ethical hacking (73% view it favorably), mainly management professionals (84% have at least six years of experience in the field), only needed by large companies (20% lead teams with fewer than 10 members), unprepared for AI (95% implement AI-based defensive measures), and all believe in the value of AI (58% see risks outweighing benefits). The report also highlights the state of current threats, AI usage, and hiring landscape.
