CISOs face four major obstacles preventing them from strengthening their security posture: failure to train teams for autonomous decision-making on priorities, inability to keep pace with organizational AI adoption leading to shadow AI, limited deployment of AI tools in security operations despite proven benefits, and persistent talent shortages combined with critical skills gaps especially in AI, cloud security, and risk management. 76% of CISOs expect a material cyberattack within 12 months, yet 58% believe their organizations are unprepared to respond.
