CISO priorities in 2025 | Kaspersky official blog
- In 2025, CISO priorities include cost optimization, such as consolidating and rationalizing infosec tools to reduce excessive expenditure and increase productivity.
- Companies are advised to consolidate their tech stack under a single-vendor approach or select the best tool in each category, ensuring API integration capabilities.
- Stack consolidation often involves automation, leading to cost savings and improved security, with companies achieving average savings of 16% and analyst time savings of 20%.
- Automation projects in infosec processes, including selective incident response automation and risk assessment, help save analyst time and mitigate talent shortage.
- Generative AI tools are being prioritized by many companies for future competitiveness, while establishing standards and training programs is crucial to manage associated risks.
- Implementing open-source AI solutions can reduce operational costs and enhance data protection, though the availability of suitable models is case-dependent.
- Meaningful infosec metrics simplify justifying infosec budgets to the board of directors, focusing on risk reduction, organizational readiness for attacks, and effectiveness of measures.
- Prioritizing identity management, including multi-factor authentication and passkey-based solutions, can significantly reduce the risk of compromise through credential theft.
- Centralized management of machine identities and secrets, along with strategic implementation of tools, helps in enhancing security in cloud environments.
- Effective cost management in security operations centers (SOCs), such as through hierarchical data storage and distributed processing infrastructure, can lead to significant savings.
