CISOs acknowledge that no organization is completely safe, but many also admit their security measures aren’t where they’d like them to be. One-third of CISOs surveyed for Proofpoint’s 2025 Voice of the CISO Report said the data within their organization is not adequately protected, and 58% said their organizations were unprepared to respond to a cyberattack. Meanwhile, only 67% believed their organizations offered adequate budget, staff, and tools to meet their cybersecurity goals.
