Beyond the Budget: What CISOs Need to Understand About Their CFO Relationship
Every CISO has prepared for a budget conversation by building the strongest possible business case. The right data, the right framing, the right numbers. But the security leaders who consistently earn CFO support are not necessarily the ones with the most polished decks. They are the ones who built the relationship that made the ask credible before it ever landed on the table. That distinction came through clearly in a recent conversation between Exabeam CISO Kevin Kirkwood and Exabeam CFO Mike Byron.
CISO's Corner - 6 Observations from Gartner SRM 2026
Artificial Intelligence continued to dominate the conversation, and content, but the key theme throughout the Gartner Security & Risk Management experience was a little bit more subtle. This year, CISOs from all across the globe came to connect, learn, and explore with peers, vendors, and Gartner, navigating individual and business resilience challenges.
CISOs need decision-grade risk intelligence, not another workflow
In large enterprises, the hardest security decisions are rarely made in the SOC. They are made in board meetings, budget reviews, audit discussions, customer escalations. The most dire are often represented in the moments when leaders have to decide what matters now, what can wait, and what risk the business is actually taking on. The real GRC problem is no longer how to manage more work. It is how to help the business make better decisions with higher confidence. CISOs do not need another workflow.
Board-Level Cyber Reporting: What CEOs, CFOs, and CISOs Need to Get Right in 2026
Cyber reporting to the board has a consistency problem: updates arrive regularly but rarely deliver the forward-looking intelligence executives need to act. This piece breaks down why the disconnect exists, how it affects CEOs, CFOs, and CISOs differently, and what decision-ready threat intelligence should actually look like at board level.
Why CISOs are right to be skeptical of AI - and what actually solves it
AI demos are easy. AI you’d actually trust near your control environment is not. If you’ve sat through a few of these pitches lately, you’ve probably landed on the same four questions every CISO we talk to is asking. And you’re right to ask them.
HIPAA Compliance Automation: Roadmap for CISOs 2026
Most healthcare security teams don't start thinking about HIPAA automation because they love compliance tooling. They start when another audit request lands, someone asks for six months of access reviews, policy attestations are out of date in three different folders, and the security team spends a week reconstructing evidence that should already exist. The problem isn't that teams don't understand HIPAA.
The New CISO Ep. 146 - Eric O'Neill | Rogue Agents: The New Era of AI Insider Threats (Part 2)
What happens when an AI agent inside your company starts behaving like an insider threat? In part two, Steve Moore picks the thread back up with former FBI operative Eric O'Neill to explore how agentic AI is rewriting cybersecurity, the legal traps that follow a breach, and why the modern CISO must think like a spy hunter.

How strategic CISOs innovate with AI despite limited resources
In previous Strategic CISOs sessions, I’ve spoken with security leaders from Andesite, IMO Health, and Cribl. They’ve built trusted programs where GRC functions as a business driver and customer assurance accelerates revenue. But every CISO I speak with is still fighting some version of the same fight. They have more obligations, more scrutiny, and more AI-related risk, but they do not have more people, more budget, or more hours in the day.
