Spend vs. debt: what's the bigger security risk?

More cybersecurity spending doesn't mean better security. Organizations accumulate "security debt" through complexity & unnecessary controls, increasing fragility. Experts advocate for automation & tool integration over adding more layers. Real risk management measures resilience, not just compliance. CISOs must communicate cyber threats in business terms—revenue impact, recovery ability—to engage boards effectively. 🔒

CIOSpend vs. debt: what’s the bigger security risk?Organizations continue investing heavily in cybersecurity, yet many are simultaneously increasing operational complexity and long-term security fragility. Here, Joan Goodchild from CSO speaks with veteran CISO Selim Aissi about security debt and why it may be a more meaningful measure of cyber risk than security budget size alone.

Cybersecurity is a leadership problem: Why the management model needs to catch up

Cybersecurity fails when treated as just a tech problem. The real issue? Leadership. CISOs can't do it alone—organizations need clear accountability, cross-level collaboration, and board involvement. Better tools mean nothing without proper governance and sustained management discipline. It's time to break the cycle.

CSO OnlineCybersecurity is a leadership problem: Why the management model needs to catch upWe keep buying better security tech, but the real gaps are ownership and follow-through, so cybersecurity can’t stay the CISO’s problem alone.

Plex shipped fixes in 1.43.3 by Sep 1, yet one researcher's honeypot running a vulnerable version was exploited on Oct 17, a day after the Plex2Shell chain (CVE-2026-96652, -96654, -96655, -96656) went public. He saw an XMRig miner and a proxy tool dropped. Plex's Sep 1 notice listed no CVEs, and Plex did not immediately respond to Ars Technica.

AI agents are changing the math on software spending

AI agents are reshaping enterprise software pricing. Companies like Microsoft, Salesforce, and SAP are ditching traditional per-seat licensing for hybrid models combining fixed subscriptions with consumption-based charges. CIOs must now budget for workflow complexity and execution frequency, not just user count. Success requires rethinking forecasting strategies and potential budget shifts between IT and business units.

CISA review makes the case for eliminating vulnerability classes

CISA urges software makers to eliminate entire vulnerability classes, not just patch individual flaws. The agency highlights that recurring coding errors (like injection attacks) cause most breaches. Solution: adopt Secure by Design principles, automate security processes, and take ownership. Consumers must also demand better security from vendors to drive industry-wide change.
