BRIEF
CISO Action Guide for Financial Services

We surveyed CISOs and boards and learned that 82% of financial services CISOs participate in board meetings somewhat or most of the time. Their cyber spending is expected to amount to $105 million annually, far outpacing the $75 million industry average.
CISOs and boards are finding some common ground, but there’s still work to do:
- 73% of boards believe in prioritizing how IT and security teams interact with other areas of the business vs. 40% of CISOs.
- 82% of boards think security teams spend time on data privacy vs. 44% of CISOs.
- 46% of boards see compliance as a measure of CISO success vs. only 16% of CISOs.
