In this episode of Resilient Cyber, we sit down with Steve Martano, Partner in the cyber Security Practice at Artico Search, to discuss the recent IANS & Artico Search Publications on the 2025 State of the CISO, security budgets, and broader security career dynamics.
Steve and I touched on some great topics, including:
- The 2025 State of the CISO report and key findings
- Board reporting cadences for CISO’s and the importance of Boardroom involvement in Cybersecurity
- The three archetypes of CISO’s: Tactical, Functional and Strategic
- How security leaders can advance their career to becoming strategic CISO’s as well as key considerations for organziation’s looking to attract and retain their security talent
- The growing scope of responsibility for CISO roles from not just Infosec but to broader IT, business risk, and digital strategy and implications for CISO’s
- Security budget trends, spending, macroeconomic factors and allocations
