BRIEF
CISO Action Guide for Public Sector
The path to digital resilience in the public sector starts when CISOs and boards align
We surveyed CISOs and boards and learned that 94% of public sector CISOs participate in board meetings somewhat often or most of the time. But, their cyber spending lags behind peers, with a $55 million expected annual spend versus the $75 million industry average.
CISOs and boards are finding some common ground, but there’s still work to do:
- 80% of boards name operational efficiency as a top priority vs 28% of CISOs
- 53% of CISOs name innovating with emerging tech as a top priority vs 0% of boards.
- 80% of boards think security teams spend time on business enablement vs. 26% of CISOs.
Get in-depth insights from today’s public sector leaders, plus practical steps to deepen CISO-board alignment.
