The CSO Survey: Insights on Security in 2025 Webinar

Today’s Chief Security Officers are navigating a complex risk landscape, from activism and insider threats to geopolitical volatility and executive threats. The Annual CSO Survey 2025, produced by The Clarity Factory and sponsored by Ontic, found that 77% of CSOs say their effectiveness is undermined by silos and fragmented data, one of many insights from this first-of-its-kind global study.

Join survey author Rachel Briggs OBE and security leaders who took part in the research as they go behind the numbers, unpack the key findings, and share what the data means in practice. The discussion will explore how CSOs are responding to today’s challenges and where they see security heading in 2025.

Why you should attend:

• Go behind the survey findings: Benchmark your program against responses from 96 global enterprise CSOs and take away actionable data points to bring back to your organization.
• Learn how CSOs are building resilience: Hear how security leaders are adapting strategies to manage fragmented data, silos, and an evolving risk landscape.
• Get your questions answered live: Engage directly with the survey author and our panel of security leaders in an interactive Q&A.
