What the record shows

Internal promotions are the minority. Of 39 tracked appointments, 3 were internal promotions — organizations overwhelmingly went outside for their security chief.

The combined-title CISO is real. 2 appointments carried a dual mandate (CIO/CISO or CTO/CISO), all at mid-market organizations — the tier where security leadership is still fused with the broader technology role.

Open seats: 1. Tracked departures without a verified successor are listed on the open seats tracker.

AI is in the job description. Multiple 2026 mandates named AI security explicitly in the appointment announcement itself — a framing that was rare a year earlier.
