A recent Gartner survey highlights that chief information security officers (CISOs) who prioritize response and recovery alongside prevention deliver more value than those focused solely on prevention. The report suggests CISOs should develop cyber fault tolerance, minimize their toolsets to essential technologies, and build a resilient cyber workforce. Key recommendations include focusing on adaptive strategies for generative AI and third-party risks, eliminating redundant tools, and fostering a workforce culture that supports resilience and learning from failures. By embracing these strategies, organizations can better navigate the increasing prevalence and impact of cyberattacks.
