CISOs must be \u201caggressive\u201d and \u201cinnovative\u201d in how they retain talent against the backdrop of an increasingly volatile jobs market, a new report from IANS and Artico Search has revealed.<\/p>\n

The duo\u2019s 2026 Cybersecurity Talent Report is based on interviews with over 500 US cybersecurity professionals.<\/p>\n

It found that just 34% of respondents are planning to stay in their current role in the coming year, with 43% considering a job change \u2013 rising to 46% of senior professionals.<\/p>\n

\u201cCareer progression, satisfaction with compensation and a healthy work-life balance all correlated moderately to strongly with job satisfaction,\u201d the report noted. \u201cCompensation progression also correlates with job satisfaction, but as a weaker driver.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regardless of pay level, even small pay increases are likely to result in higher satisfaction and a greater chance of individuals staying put compared with flat compensation, IANS said.<\/p>\n

There were other clear signals from the report that could help CISOs improve talent retention. IANS claimed that hybrid work involving one or two days on-site per week delivers the strongest work-life balance outcomes.<\/p>\n

It added that 73% of security professionals who see security as a core priority for the organization report job satisfaction, versus just a fifth (19%) who see little or no senior backing for the function.<\/p>\n

\u201cSecurity leaders are navigating a complex talent environment where expectations are rising, but resources are not,\u201d said Steve Martano, IANS faculty member and partner at Artico Search.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe still see junior-level cyber professionals commanding high levels of compensation, but it is clear that top-quartile talent is seeking more than just a hearty paycheck. Visibility, career growth, and support from security leadership are necessary to keep high performers\u201d<\/p>\n
