Why Are Security Leaders Considering Stepping Down?

With rising cybersecurity threats, increasing legal scrutiny and the introduction of security regulations, CISOs are under significant pressure.

In the annual CISO survey by Heidrick & Struggles, 71% of CISOs reveal major stress in their role due to heavy workloads and concerns about personal liability in the event of security breaches.
