A study conducted among CISOs worldwide from various industries sheds light on their strategies amid a challenging threat environment, identifies obstacles from business functions, and highlights their requirements for achieving success.

"Our research shows CISOs are motivated by a mission to protect. Yet, CISOs tell us they feel unsupported, unheard, and invisible," said Bryan Palma, CEO of Trellix.

"I've been a CISO, it can be the loneliest position in tech," Palma continued, "Now is the time, with AI in the hands of both good and bad actors, to revolutionize SecOps strategies and fight back against criminals. We need to empower our CISOs to win every time," Palma continued.

Research reveals pain points for CISOs Not enough support.

CISOs can find the number of security solutions available to them overwhelming, unnecessary, and challenging.

"So having a unified security tool, that's been built and understood by security people and CISOs and analysts and engineers, that understand their day-to-day work and activities when it comes to certain things, is I think, something that's missing".
