CISO Pay Rises 6.7% as Budgets Slow and Mobility Grows

📰 IANS Research polled 566 CISOs across the US and Canada between April and October 2025 and found average total compensation (salary, bonus and equity) rose 6.7% year‑on‑year. The report highlights sharp pay dispersion: the top 1% report over $3.2m—about ten times the median—while 70% of CISOs receive equity that often drives top packages. Budgets grew just 4% (the slowest pace in five years), CISO mobility climbed to 15%, and tech and financial services led sector pay at averages of $844,000 and $744,000 respectively.
