Top 10 CISO flavours this 2022

Top 10 CISO flavours this 2022

My first shot at making an infographic is a recap of what I consider as key CISO highlights for 2022.

Let me know what you think! Have I missed any?

If you ask me how did 2022 look like? Well, if I were to get AI to illustrate this, it would look like this:

Too much has happened and the landscape in which organisations operate has shifted so rapidly that I would have to write a whole book about it if you want the details!

Interestingly, a UK cyber company consolidated all the key snapshots of the different cyber surveys and findings across the year and guess how many pages it took? 133 pages.

If I were to highlight my top 10 flavours and topics of interests that were brought up regularly by the different cyber leaders in 2022 - they would be (not in any particular order):

  • Ransomware and fines,
  • Data breach news,
  • Cyber insurance changes,
  • Salary (always a hot topic), hiring news, talent retention issues and our industry's mental health challenges,
  • Culture - building a healthy security culture across all levels,
  • Tools - comparing tools, and the cross-sharing of customer experiences,
  • Third party risks and supply-chain management concerns,
  • Dashboards - identifying the best ways to create an executive report that includes what boards desire to see in terms of visibility from the CISOs,
  • Regulatory changes and what they mean for organisations,
  • Governance, frameworks and certifications - determining the most suitable ones for different organisations and the best practice industry adoption.

These past 12 months, I have probably participated in more than 12 Australian interstate and international executive roundtables. Having had different conversations with 200+ CISO and CIO leaders just keeps extending an already extensive spectrum of business distractions, areas of concerns and evolving operating landscape. It is even more crucial for our industry leaders to constantly prioritise and re-prioritise with the shift of time.

What about the rest of my network? What were your top 3 this year?

For those who prefer a visual representation, this might be helpful. I've also included some interesting insights relating to the top 10 topics.
