CISO Action Guide for Communications and Media

We surveyed CISOs and boards and learned that 86% of communications and media CISOs participate in board meetings somewhat often, most of the time, or every time. But, their cyber spending lags behind peers, with a $64 million expected annual spend versus the $75 million industry average.

CISOs and boards are finding some common ground, but there’s still work to do:

  • 51% of CISOs align their priorities with the boards vs. 62% across all industries.
  • 55% of CISOs name innovating with emerging tech as a top priority vs. 9% of boards.
  • 73% of boards think security teams spend time on business enablement vs. 25% of CISOs.

Get in-depth insights from today’s communications and media leaders, plus practical steps to deepen CISO - board alignment.
