Marlin Hawk released a research report which explores industry trends and insights of CISOs around the world, the challenges they face in a rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, as well as their role and place within organizations.

It consists of research from CISOs at 400+ of the world's largest companies and direct feedback from Fortune 500 CISOs at organizations like Bank of America, Humana, TD Bank Group, Equifax, Credit Suisse, and BT Security.

53% of CISOs interviewed assumed a new role during the pandemic, while just over a third took on an expanded role at their current place of employment.

Given the various solutions that have been put into place to enable a secure remote workforce, many CISOs see the benefits to sustaining it, such as access to better and more diverse talent.

COVID-19 obviously introduced a new level of complexity as CISOs were tasked with securing a remote workforce and mitigating risks and threats, which increased as the enterprise network became more porous.

"The role requires self-awareness and humility; good CISOs are willing to admit to themselves and others when they don't have the same set of fresh eyes as day one."
