50% of CISOs see Mythos as a sign to exit the profession
Survey of 1,001 US and UK CISOs finds 50% consider leaving the profession amid AI-driven pressure, personal liability concerns and burnout.
A survey of 1,001 CISOs in the US and UK found 50% say Anthropic's Mythos and similar cyber-capable AI models have made them consider exiting the profession, while 60% say board pressure to adopt AI is outpacing their governance capability. Average CISO tenure is cited at 18 months, and 78% worry about personal liability for security incidents, up from 56% a year earlier. Executives from BlackBerry, Databricks and IDC discuss D&O insurance, agentic security operations and phased low-risk AI adoption as partial responses.
