As application security shifts from centralized control to distributed responsibility, CISOs face a new challenge: leading through influence rather than enforcement. This guide, based on a survey of 200 global CISOs, explores how security leaders are adapting to developer-driven workflows, fragmented tooling, and evolving business expectations. With only 20% of organizations reporting high DevSecOps maturity, the report highlights the need for governance frameworks, shared KPIs, and platform consolidation. CISOs must now align security with business outcomes, empower product teams, and embed security across the SDLC to remain effective in a software-first world.
