The Security Org Chart Is Being Redrawn

TODAY: organized around functions
CISO
AppSec
Cloud Security
SOC
GRC
Identity & Access
// built for people doing the work
→
as agents absorb the routine work
FUTURE: organized around outcomes
CISO
Security Strategy & Risk
AI & Automation Engineering
Security Operations (Platform)
Engineering Enablement
Trust & Business Resilience
// built for humans + AI to deliver value
The leader's value shifts from alert throughput to judgment, knowing what the risk actually is, and where a human still belongs in the loop.
The RACI is the near-term control plane; this is the direction of travel. Functions exist because people do the work. As agents take on the routine, the durable chart organizes around what the org delivers rather than the tools it runs.
