This week in cybersecurity from the editors at Cybercrime Magazine
Sausalito, Calif. – Mar. 24, 2026– Read the full story from Sophos
The 2026 CISO Report, published by Cybersecurity Ventures in partnership with Sophos, highlights a critical imbalance in global cybersecurity leadership. Despite decades of progress and near-universal CISO adoption in Fortune 500 and Global 2000 organizations, there are still only 35,000 CISOs worldwide serving an estimated 359 million businesses.
As Sophos CEO Joe Levy notes in the report, that imbalance represents a 10,000:1 business-to-CISO ratio: “Those are not good odds. This is a market failure. [The cybersecurity ecosystem] hasn’t figured out how to address this gap. We have the potential to do that now.”
For large organizations, the CISO role has become foundational to risk management and operational continuity. For everyone else — particularly SMBs — the absence of CISO-level leadership has opened a widening vulnerability gap.
This new report places the CISO leadership gap against the backdrop of a rapidly escalating threat environment. Cybercrime costs are projected to reach $12.2 trillion annually by 2031, doubling from 2021 levels.
Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that ransomware alone will cost victims $74 billion in 2026, climbing to $275 billion annually by 2031, with estimates stating that attackers launch a new campaign every two seconds.
The consequences for organizations without expert oversight are severe. According to the report, businesses without a CISO face a “gaping security hole,” leaving them exposed to financial loss, operational disruption, and reputational harm.
If the challenges are steep for enterprises, they’re even more consequential for small businesses. The World Economic Forum estimates that 90 percent of all companies worldwide are small businesses, yet “close to zero percent” employ a dedicated security officer, according to the 2026 CISO Report.
To help address the global shortage of CISO expertise, Sophos acquired Arco Cyber earlier this year to create CISO Advantage, a set of capabilities designed to scale the knowledge, judgment, and discipline of world-class security leaders to any organization, whether they have a dedicated CISO or not.
CISO Advantage empowers providers to deliver governance, compliance, and strategic risk management. It’s built to adapt to organizations at any maturity level, from resource-constrained SMBs to complex enterprise environments.

Security researchers have confirmed that the sophisticated iOS exploit chain known as DarkSword is now accessible outside of its original threat actor groups. Recently, security researcher @matteyeux successfully achieved kernel read/write access on an iPad mini 6th generation running iOS 18.6.2 using the in-the-wild DarkSword exploit. This development demonstrates that the exploit kit is highly […]
