Nordic CISOs hold steady amid rising cyber threat volumes

The article discusses the resilience of Nordic CISOs in the face of rising cyber threats. Despite an increase in the volume and aggressiveness of cyberattacks globally, the majority of CISOs in northern Europe report no significant rise in severe incidents compared to two years ago. This stability is attributed to improved cybersecurity practices, including enhanced external support and better attack surface management.

While the frequency of lower-severity incidents has risen, improved detection and containment capabilities have helped CISOs manage threats effectively. The report also highlights a stagnation in CISO power within organizations, despite a perceived increase in their influence and communication within business processes concerning cybersecurity.
