Job pressures have increased as companies run headlong into AI adoption, causing 26% of top security executives to consider leaving their position.
Editorial Analysis
CISO attrition during peak AI adoption creates a dangerous leadership vacuum right when organisations most need experienced security executives to navigate emerging AI governance requirements.
Initiate a board-level conversation about CISO role scope, AI governance resourcing, and retention incentives before attrition becomes a business risk.
