ESG and the Information Systems Security Association published a report titled, The State of Cyber Security Careers. The report was based on a survey of 437 cybersecurity professionals, the clear majority of which were ISSA members. Two-thirds of these cybersecurity professionals worked at an organization that employed a CSO or CISO.
