Most significant cyberrisks in five years (%)

The importance of the role of the chief information security officer continues to grow as digital technologies, particularly artificial intelligence, become even more prevalent and concern about cyberattacks, specifically ransomware, rises. In that context, we asked again about the risks, both personal and professional, that CISOs face in their role. Unsurprisingly, the most often cited cybersecurity risk was AI and machine learning, followed by geopolitical risks and cyberattacks, which include ransomware, malware, insider threats, and nation/state attacks. And more than half of respondents said they believe that the most significant cyberrisks will not be the same five years from now.
