Our latest survey reveals the root causes, rising costs, and strategic solutions CISOs are using to get ahead of operational debt and deliver results.
Security debt doesn’t show up in budgets, but it drags everything down — from visibility and coverage to efficiency and board confidence. We surveyed 75 CISOs to understand what’s driving it, what it’s costing, and what forward-thinking teams are doing to reverse the trend.
What You’ll Learn:
The Real Impact. How security debt contributes to vendor sprawl, inefficiencies, and growing risk exposure
Root Causes. What’s leading to debt accumulation — from speed and deferred work to broken ownership models
Strategic Playbooks. The proven tactics CISOs are using to reduce operational debt and prove protection with less waste
“If you’re not actively managing security debt, you’re absorbing more risk than you think.”— Survey Respondent, CISO, Fortune 1000 Enterprise
