When that\u2019s true, the structure works. When it\u2019s not, no reporting line will save it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sanchit Vir Gogia, chief analyst at Greyhound Research, argues that the trend to have CISOs report to an IT executive \u201cis one of the most structurally damaging legacy habits still entrenched in enterprise security governance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn paper, it may seem like a clean alignment,\u201d he says. \u201cIn practice, it\u2019s a governance anti-pattern that quietly erodes the CISO\u2019s ability to surface truth, escalate risk, and hold the organization accountable. Keeping security under IT may seem convenient, but in today\u2019s threat landscape, it is a structural vulnerability disguised as tradition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.csoonline.com\/article\/4136293\/its-time-to-rethink-ciso-reporting-lines.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s time to rethink CISO reporting lines https:\/\/www.csoonline.com\/article\/4136293\/its-time-to-rethink-ciso-reporting-lines.html Publish Date: 2026-02-24 02:12:00 Source Domain: www.csoonline.com&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":216936,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.csoonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/4136293-0-83736400-1771916568-teamwork_collaboration_discussion_analysis_management_BY_Jacob_Lund_Shutterstock_1281259951_CREATIVE_DIGITAL-ONLY_72dpi.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=1024","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[27],"class_list":["post-216935","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-vulnerability"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216935"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=216935"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216935\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":216937,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216935\/revisions\/216937"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/216936"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=216935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=216935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=216935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
