The cybersecurity landscape is shifting beneath our feet, driven by sophisticated threats and the dual-edged sword of Artificial Intelligence. As traditional perimeters prove insufficient and CISOs evolve into strategic business enablers, understanding how leaders are tackling today's complex challenges is paramount. How are they truly navigating this new reality?

To answer this, Metomic partnered with Harris Interactive for the 2025 CISO Survey, gathering critical insights from 404 senior security leaders across the US and UK. This timely research cuts through the noise, revealing a security environment where leaders are confronting escalating ransomware and third-party risks  while simultaneously wrestling with AI as both a major vulnerability driver and an essential defensive tool.

The findings also highlight a crucial dynamic: while significant resources target security infrastructure, CISOs recognize a pressing need to bolster security operations, strategic planning, and incident response. This survey unpacks the key findings from this essential survey, offering vital perspectives on CISO priorities, the real impact of AI, persistent cultural challenges, and strategic recommendations for building resilience in the year ahead.
