Executive summary

CISOs and CIOs are prioritizing cloud infrastructure security, internal cybersecurity talent, and the ethical control of data in 2025. The threat environment continues to change, with AI-driven cyberthreats escalating the potential damages on the offensive side in parallel with tightening cybersecurity insurance requirements forcing a recalibration of the defensive side.

More organizations are experiencing a higher number of cybersecurity incidents each year, which drives the need to re-assess the efficacy of current posture against the organization’s desired standard of performance. Having done so, the CISOs and CIOs in this research are investing in protections to shore up the critical areas above. In addition to the overall prioritization of cybersecurity areas, we offer a more nuanced analysis of CISO and CIO priorities within the areas of applications, cloud platforms and services, identities, and data.
