2023 CISO Compensation Benchmark Report
by IANS + Artico
In a challenging macroeconomic environment and an ever-increasing threat landscape, organizations are dialing back security spend - including CISO salaries. The recent comp cycle made it clear that CISOs are only partially shielded from these challenges.
New budgetary restrictions pose a clear risk to CISOs’ security posture. Recent SEC cyber reporting rules increase CISO liability making it a demanding time to be a CISO.
