CISO Succession Crisis: Lack of Plans Leaves Firms Exposed

🔒 The article highlights a growing succession problem in cybersecurity: although CISO turnover has eased (from 21% in 2022 to 12% in 2023 and an annualized 11% in H1 2024), most organizations still lack formal plans to prepare successors. The gap is less about technical ability and more about developing leaders who can align cybersecurity with business strategy, communicate with executives, and manage risk. Experts recommend early planning, creating a true deputy CISO, rotational assignments, and board exposure to build a resilient internal pipeline.
