A new research study from BigID and Lorem Advisory Group reveals the current state of data security, governance, compliance, and AI from security leaders.

NEW YORK, June 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- BigID, the pioneer in AI-augmented data security, compliance, and data privacy for modern cloud-first enterprises, and Lorem Advisory Group today released its groundbreaking "2024 CISO Report: The Current State of Data Security, Governance, and AI." This insightful report delves into the critical challenges CISOs face in governing, securing, and safeguarding data in today's AI-driven landscape. The survey aims to equip CISOs with valuable insights and guidance to navigate the complexities of securing rapidly expanding data in the cloud and other platforms.

The rapid rise of AI across industries creates a critical data blind spot: the lack of insight into the data powering these systems. Training data for AI models can harbor hidden risks, including sensitive information, personal data, and intellectual property. This lack of visibility leaves security leaders in the dark – they can't secure what they can't see.

Key findings from the survey:

66% of CISOs prioritize proactive data risk detection and remediation to bolster security. Just scanning data is not enough.
Nearly half of CISOs use Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) to mitigate insider risk.
Over 85% of CISOs want more visibility into who has access to the org's data, signaling a shift towards a risk-aware, data-centric security approach.

"The findings from our survey underscore the complex challenges facing CISOs and highlight the common trends that all of us face with regards to Securing Data in our environments," said Tyler Young, Chief Information Security Officer for BigID. "As data breaches continue to impact organizations, it is imperative for security leaders to prioritize data security initiatives that aim to provide visibility and capabilities to protect sensitive data."
