METHODOLOGY

The research in 2025 was conducted with two audiences.

Chief Security Officers

Research was carried out via an online survey, between  March 21, 2025, and April 16, 2025, with a total of 2,352 Chief Security Officers - or those in equivalent positions - at large, global companies across 31 countries and 13 languages. A quota-based random selection process was used within each country by industry and each country's data was weighted to have an equal proportion in the global results (with the exception of the U.S. to reflect their larger economy). Respondents collectively boasted a combined global revenue exceeding USD$25 trillion.

Global Institutional Investors

Online research was carried out between April 8 and 14 2025, with a total of n=200 Global Institutional Investors. A quota-based random selection process was used to select them by type and geography. Respondents have a sum of over USD$1 trillion in AUM (assets under management).
