Summary
Security leaders predict that Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs, the executives responsible for an organization's security strategy) will evolve by 2029 from primarily defensive roles into strategic business leaders who help companies innovate safely and make smart technology decisions. Rather than simply blocking risks, future CISOs will work in executive boardrooms advising leadership on how to adopt new technologies, including AI, while managing risks intelligently.
