The cyber threat landscape has become more dangerous over the past year and the C-suite is paying greater attention-but all the tools in the world won't help until organizations home in on good cyber hygiene.

"We have security company after security company coming out of the woodwork and everyone seems to offer the right solution for all your problems and we all know that's not the case."

Not only have cyber threats grown more sophisticated, but the number of malicious actors has grown-they are more persistent and better able to communicate and collaborate with each other, said Oltsik.

When it comes to cybersecurity decision-making, today there is a lot more involvement from boards-and a lot more being asked of security teams, said Joe Partlow, CTO of ReliaQuest.

"Managed security service providers can help, Summit said, but CISOs are still feeling overwhelmed."I feel we've been inundated with attacks, and everyone's taking notice and asking questions and security teams are overloaded with alert fatigues from tools,'' he said.

Hatter said he thinks vendors need to reconsider their pricing models "To give us more support to allow us to ingest more data and create more sophisticated rule sets. That's a pain point for me and other CISOs I've talked to."
