Cisco Publishes Annual CISO Benchmark Study

A new survey of senior security leader attitudes and practices concentrates on ‘anticipating the unknowns’. It’s a clever choice of words. ‘Anticipating’ implies getting ahead of and being prepared for the unknowns — which is different and more accurate than the more usual use of the word as simply ‘expecting’ the unknowns. This is the task of the security leader: to be prepared for the unknown rather than to wait for and respond to the unknown.
