Cybersecurity Ventures estimates that there are around 35,000 chief information security officers (CISOs) employed worldwide in 2026, up minimally from 32,000 in 2023.
The 2026 CISO Report from Cybersecurity Ventures in partnership with Sophos examines the evolving role of the CISO and the shortfall of CISO resources available to the world’s businesses, and the role of MSPs and MSSPs in filling the CISO gap for underserved SMBs.
The report also reveals related facts, figures, predictions, and statistics to assist in the war on cybercrime.
