During the RSAC 2025 Conference, Zscaler CISO Sam Curry highlighted the transformative impact of AI on the role of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs). As AI adoption surges, CISOs are increasingly consulted in strategic discussions rather than solely technical evaluations, underscoring their importance. The paradox of AI being both the most adopted and the most blocked technology reveals the complex risk dilemmas security leaders face. Additionally, Curry pointed towards the need for organizations to start preparing for the quantum era, particularly in terms of post-quantum cryptography capabilities.
AI's rise necessitates a shift in the role of CISOs, transforming them into key strategic contributors, crucial for navigating modern cybersecurity challenges.
CISOs are increasingly consulted in strategic discussions, indicating a shift from purely technical roles to significant contributions in broader organizational decision-making.
The simultaneous rise of AI as both the most adopted and blocked technology in 2024 emphasizes the complex risk-reward landscape confronted by security leaders.
Organizations must prepare for the implications of the quantum era in cybersecurity, particularly regarding post-quantum cryptography, while grappling with existing challenges.
