A report by MetaCompliance indicates that 78% of CISOs believe C-level executives lack a full understanding of the cybersecurity risks posed by employee behaviors. Over 200 CISOs surveyed express concern that support for security awareness initiatives dwindles over time, exacerbating challenges in managing cyber risks. The survey highlights reduced confidence among CISOs regarding organizational cyber resilience due to the rise of sophisticated AI-driven threats.
In this context, the report emphasizes the critical need for sustained leadership support and stakeholder alignment to effectively address human cyber risk.
