We are currently living in one of the most disruptive and challenging times in cybersecurity. Nearly every day, there are reports of breaches, new regulatory requirements, or major mergers and acquisitions. Cybersecurity and geopolitical conflicts are converging, further complicating the risk environment. With the emergence of AI, less skilled hackers can leverage large language models (LLMs) and generative AI to launch increasingly sophisticated attacks.

While the cybersecurity industry thrives on innovation, all of these forces introduce more vulnerabilities and challenges. In light of these growing threats, CISOs need to ensure they are properly investing their time and resources to build security into the organizational culture and become more resilient. In this report, our security experts outline five key areas to focus on in 2024:

Balance cyber risk and opportunity with AI
Maintain uninterrupted business operations with a resilience strategy
Manage and secure the increasing burden of enterprise data
Optimize your portfolio of security tools and vendors
Find, develop and retain qualified security talent

Prioritizing these elements will ensure CISOs and their teams are well prepared for the changes that are sure to come in the next year.
